Sad news indeed. When I was researching the Philharmonics (and Tony Owens) Northern Connection number(?), many of the people I spoke to and contacted by other means always raised his name, and whenever I read anything to do with N.O. music history he was right there. RIP.

He (Richard) was always polite with me...and I never met Sir Terry Wogan ( but neither do I scorn his award)

New Orleans’s original White Negro

I can feel an OPO (original play only) thread looming

That’s probably why I said “it didn’t have the same impact - for me” ..etc.

2 weeks ago Mossley Am Dram(MAODS) put Once A Time...on at George Lawton Hall. The 2 girls and 2 guys were fantastic...But (just me this) it didn’t have the impact from nigh on 20 yrs early at Oxford road. And although I think Kev did the after show set...I was left feeling I was amongst civilians. i know, it’s me, I’m just too old

Lining up 2nd June at Portsmouth to Caen ferry

I wonder what the conversation would have been like(if any)...had 2 six ft USA black guys wearing white vests and bandanas had been there?

this 45 may not have surfaced if it wasn't for Chuck Barksdale. He got Calvin Carter to sign them- (god bless Boba for his interviews.) The Dontells.

uplifting...coming home...meeting ya girl again....

Dick Griffey and the Whispers rush-released and changed the “ending lyrics” from ‘Oh by the way tell our next door neighbors their son got blown away' –TO- ‘their son will be home anyday’. Why? – because as they were in the recording studio a Vietnam peace settlement was announced.

I was playing out some stuff today and realised i had a fair amount that were Vietnam related. I'm sure there are many more. Here’s a few i picked out of mine.... What's in yours?
