Always remember The Day The Music Died, because it was my 10th birthday. So today, 64 years on, a little tribute to the great Buddy. The amount of unforgettable music he created in just 2-3 years still astounds me and I always wonder what he would have continued to give.

That’s the stuff we played when I was in band. Just shows how old I am! I’ve still got my old Hofner Congress guitar which I electrified but I upgraded to a cherry red Stratocaster, like Hank Marvin’s, in later years. Since my ‘horticultural amputation’ I can play neither.

Paper Lace made some good stuff and most members were from Nottingham......although Michael Vaughan was born in Sheffield he was brought up in Nottingham and his Dad was my Boss at Marsdens....

Great bloke he gave me a couple of pay increases to stop me leaving........bless him...

Used to love a bit of Dave Brubeck.......

Sometime back in the 60s was driving along Perry road just near the Prison.....listening to this when i was stopped by the Police....who said i was doing 35 in a 30 mile limit............still had Dave on low...when the Copper said ''Is that Dave Brubeck you got on ?'''

               Thought he was going to 'DO'' me for that as well.............anyway he liked 'Dave's'' music.......and i got away with a warning.........for the speeding......lol.......Good Copper.......think about that day every time i hear this record.............

Always enjoyed the late Anthony Newley......from about 1960 when he played Gurney Slade and about the same year sang this song........

          I Had an Uncle named 'Dick' Who looked and sang rather like him...he was a Miner at Calverton and often sang at the Miners Welfare there......another Uncle also down the Pit at Calverton also sang songs there..especially remember him singing Bernard Breslaw's hit song ''Charlie  Brown'' that was my Uncle Harold.....lovely funny man.....
