Colin, our man in Hong Kong, has added a couple of names to the jam session photo.
Hi Lance, the alto player on the jam session is Charlie Lovell. I recognize the dark hair and the raised shoulder.
Jude
OMG Charlie Lovell! The reeds I sold him when I worked in JGW. With Charlie L you got paid in cash with an half an hour of conversation thrown in.
He had some wonderful (I almost said Lovelly) stories to tell from days of yore. What a character - come to think about it they were all "characters" on that photo!
The guitarist on the left of the Porthole picture looks like Eric Gamblin to me.
