Bebop Spoken There
George Shearing: "Speaking about Johann Sebastian Bach I think he'd be a real jazzer if he were alive today. I mean any man who has two wives, twenty kids, gets kicked out of the church for being too harmonically radical and drinks beer can't be all wrong can he?" - (Crescendo March 1984.)

Hello Lance, I still have all those precious records. Have been North East on several occasions with various bands, but most recently playing on cruise ship Minerva of Swan Hellenic on a visit to Port of Tyne which brought back many happy memories of my time in Newcastle. Martin
I was just out of school when I had a job at a music shop in Croydon. Martin Blackwell works there with me and he would take me to the Half Moon in Putney where he played for the Morrissey Mullen Band. After all these years I have just bought myself a Fender Rhodes which Martin played with a Clavinet and a Mini Moog I think. He was a master at his craft. I left to become a piano tuner and lost contact with Martin. Fond memories.
