On a positive, I saw John Mayall on UK TV this Sunday. He was on his own on the Andrew Marr show and stood in front of a keyboard which he played as well as playing a harmonica and also singing. Not lost it. He is 80 - there is hope yet. Glynn pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 1321 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Wednesday, November 05, 2014 - 2:19 am:    Oh man. We play Stranger On The Shore in one of the bands I'm in. Great song, great clarinetist.

Will be listening to some Mister acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz band before I head out to rehearsals tonight.

If we had known on this last Sunday in time, we could have done a tribute. There have been some nice obituaries to him.
