LizzieM 9,497 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Our Music teacher at Carlton-le-Willows taught Richard Baker before WW11, strange how that has stuck in my memory, especially as I wasn’t much of a music scholar, I didn’t get beyond playing the triangle. Maybe Mr Todd was the person who first got Richard Baker interested in classical music. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,893 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I remember Richard Baker. I'm a bit out of touch with personalities and I tend to remember them as they were not taking into account that even they age. But was surprised to see he was 95. R.I.P. So sad.

I heard today that Richard Baker was the narrator in Mary, Mungo and Midge - my kids loved that programme 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
