I did only see him once live. With Acker and K Ball. He had shown himself to be knowledgeable on modern art and was a good talker too. His telling of life in the early years of the war, with his and others record collecting and hiding away in the bowels of a ship to listen to the blues brought back memories of the early seventies and my own habits. The treks from bedroom to bedroom with the trusty Dancette. I will certainly look out for more of his scribblings. A whole four months eh? Time off for good behaviour?
I haven't read the book, but from your description it sounds an easy read, Oudeius. I first heard George on a78 r.p.m. record that a friend borrowed from his dad's collection, "Take me for a Buggy Ride". This would be about 1966 and I was a fan right away. On seeing his stage act years later I was totally hooked. Entertainment with a capital E. A BBC4 documentary on GM and trad jazz gives a glimpse into Georges life, I've copied it on DVD if you need it. Speaking for myself, I never get homesick when away from Merseyside, but my maximum time away has been 4 months. Regards, Oudeius, Chas
Wonder what became of he runaway boy?
I fear you've dwelt too long in the shuttered room. Fear not the shadows out of time, Chas
I thought you lost time as you decided to stop at the cake shop for a hot pie & a buttered bun
Brother O, I sit here beseiged by a lurgy, one of those which make one feel like sh*te, but I feel the better for reading about your Caledonian capers. My thanks for your endeavours.
Sorry. I mention a story I told back in October 2009 'John and Yoko Shop Here'. Sadly I cannot find here on the forum or in the archive. I did think that CTG had a copy, but no. That was another tale altogether. Alas and alack!!
