Guest Coxy Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) Spent many a night travelling with him to various nighters up down the country, trying to out do each other with who could do the best tape for the car. If you needed something and he could help he`d go out of his way to do so. I used to love how when we`d be at a soul night with no plans to go anywhere after him and my missus would scheme to get me to take us all to a nighter. "were off to such and such a place" he`d say "oh yeah, how you gettin there" ide reply, "Denise says your taking us", big grin all over his face A real character and good friend, my thoughts are with Christine,very very sad news, Trev Edited January 6, 2006 by Coxy Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Soulfool Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 What sad news. Fond memories of a very knowledgeable and likeable soul dude, many's a time he'd have the speaker phone on playing sounds to me and shouting of their qualities, hadn't seen him in a while due to other commitments at home but will be missed hugely by myself and the northern scene.

Guest Trevski Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Little John, the "Mexican Bandit" as Jo and I affectionatly refered to him, was one of the scenes last remaining 'true' characters. A great bloke, had many a natter with him at the Wilton, and other venues over the years. R.I.P. John, the scenes loss is Heavens gain. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Brian J Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I recognise him from the photograph and I've spoken to him at a venue somewhere, quite some time ago. Deepest sympathies go out to all his family and close friends, as well as those of you here on Soul Source who were close to him. I don't know what tunes he was into most but I've picked Man Of Value by the Del Royals and playing it in his memory. God rest John, I hope you find peace and I'll catch you again soon bro on the big dancefloor. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Deepest sympathys to Christine from The Elephants of Soul. Although I've not seen him for a short while, I can only add what Graham has said. Those obscure tips he used to pass on and those bags of sweets him and Christine pitched up at the Wilton with. A great character, in a world short of them, he'll be missed by many.

Derek Pearson Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I'm no good at these things and I was really shocked to learn of LJ's death - blimey I was only talking to him at the Wilton last november! He'd been after a record for years that I'd taped for him and I didnt know he was still chasing it. Had a spare in my sales box that I'd just sold earlier that night oops! He was always pestering me to sell him 2 records out of my collection (good man). Struth, its only a few weeks ago that he rang me to play some records down the phone. We would've had numerous chats at the forthcoming Wilton - hell he won't be there! If Boxy/Mouse is reading this can we have a minutes silence or something in rememberance at the wilton on the 20th? derek Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
