At this time of day I'm Telly Soaps dodging . I,m doing a couple of invoices , listening to Radio 7 (now R4Extra) Miss Marple with June Whitfield and reading posts on here. Might pick up the guitar for 1/2 hour.

 
Now that could explain a lot . !! No wonder I failed the audition for The Shadows all those years ago. I'd written a tune for them , named it after some old Vet from up in Yorky land , what was it called now ........Ah ......Apache ...that was it , they could have had a big hit with that if they'd ve taken me on .

Yes .first to play lead on bass I believe . They all seemed to begin in skiffle groups , Lonnie spawned 1000s of 'em . With three chords you had your own version of Rock Island Line .
