Oh no - another one gone!
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.

Great song, great clarinetist.

listening to my dad's collection of Acker Bilk LP's convinced me to take up Clarinet at school instead of piano / violin etc. I still pick it up now and again, 40 odd years later. Will be listening to some Mister acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz band before I head out to rehearsals tonight.

We also play Stranger On The Shore in one of the bands that I am in. If we had known on this last Sunday in time, we could have done a tribute. There have been some nice obituaries to him.
