I remember the session well Lance. Bill Brooks was on bass, Alan Palliser on piano and I think either Billy Young or Jackie Denton on drums. We met up with Doc again later at the Breda Festival in Holland and had a lovely night with him. He really was a gentleman, and despite his age could still play in the upper register when required.
Gordon Solomon.
