IAN FINN 809 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 I seem to remember Joe Mr. PIANO Henderson had his own tv show in the 50s or 60scan not remember any of his guests on the show.Anyone remember this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,473 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 I remember Joe Henderson. For some reason I particularly remember seeing him on TV at my grandma's house whenever we visited. Or am I confusing him with Russ Conway, who had a very similar act, and was also always on TV.

Beekay 5,160 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 CT, Henderson was readily known as Joe 'Mr.Piano' Henderson on TV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,160 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Joe Piano Henderson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN FINN 809 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Yes i remember Russ Conway had a few of his records can you remember Side Saddle and Peppy i wonder what happened to him after the 60s or is he still around must be very old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 He died November 2000. Age 75. Stomach cancer that had spread to his brain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paradiddle 146 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Used to like Russ Conway, think he sometimes appeared on the Billy Cotton Band Show! Didn't he have a finger missing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,511 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Russ Conway was fantastic, I loved his wonderful smile. Yes he did have half a finger missing. I saw him perform at Theatre Royal in (probably) 1962. Also on the show were The Springfields (suppose before Dusty went solo), and Bill Maynard. I wrote to Russ’s fan club and got a signed photo in return, still got it somewhere in my box of memories. Such a handsome man! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,160 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Once saw Russ Conway at Warner, Norton Grange on the I.O.W. He came and sat with us in the bar, after his stint. Lovely man to talk to. After just a few minutes it were like talking to an old mate. It seemed rather sad that he was down to 'doing the club circuit'. A smashing bloke.

Oztalgian 3,302 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Whilst we are musing about piano players who remembers Mrs Mills and Winifred Atwell with her Black and White Rag which became famous as the theme for Pot Black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN FINN 809 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Yes i remember Mrs Mills iremember she played a song about a jewel box dancer can not remember the exact name heard it many times on the radio Another two pianists comedians were Flannders and Swan famous for The Gas Man Cometh the words still hold true today. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,644 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 I always associate Flanders & Swann and Gerard Hoffnung although, I just found out , Hoffnung was about a decade earlier. Hoffnung was extremely talented and hilarious to watch and hear. Have a listen to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq-q6TcbHLE or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZUJLO6lMhI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,160 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 May not be in the same vein but another pianist was the brilliant Victor Borge. He would tell anecdotes in between bits of recitals, which he used to muck up ! Very clever pianist though, when he wanted to be. The late Les Dawson emulated him.

Whenever my dad played it, I didn't 'get the joke' at all and was mystified by it, but these days I think Hoffnung is an underrated genius. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
