none of them offered me except for a Wedding or two & USA air bases
whereas Tony , Alan Ganley, Phil Seaman etc. etc. got the Jazz dates.

Tonys Toutube ‘Jaffa Daze’ at the Flamingo with Peter King & Les Condon is more than wonderful

as I was starting to find my way in jazz, in the 1950s. I heard you
playing many times, with various line-ups, and remember heady nights
at the Flamingo. For all that inspiration,much thanks. Have a great gig.
Mike Westbrook
