Hi Scott, Loved your story,It brought back quite a few happy memories for me when i saw my old band friends mentioned, Hope you are well, Best Regards From Tommy Henderson.
I remember Dave from the two different Corner House venues. I didn't get to know him personally but well remember his fine, elegant double bass playing at those sessions. Roly.
So many names Dad played with! Granddaughter Jennifer hoping to follow in his footsteps… thank you Scott
Carolyn
Thanks for this lovely tribute, Scott. It's amazing to hear stories about my Dad. Hoping to hear more!
-Nick
