Hi Eric,

Can't wait to get home to see the videos you posted.
It must be a fascinating episode.

If you listen to the start of Please Mr. Postman, you'll hear an early useage of the word; " Malcolm ".

ecca,

From your press clipping...

Was that Denny Laine, later of the Moody Blues and Wings? I presume he was a local contemporary of yours on the Midlands music scene back then?

Also, was that Janice Nicholls of 'Oi'll give it foive' Thank Your Lucky Stars TV fame??

It was indeed Denny Laine, peroxide blonde, head like a bucket,
and it was I'll give it foive Janice Nicholls . ( my Facebook friend )

H Eric,

I went through the whole thread today (my day off) and I didn't realize it was that old, it started in May. So many things happened I wasn't aware of.
I am glad you are doing better after the surgery. It is a big one really.
Your band was super and very entertaining, and you are right your singer is top.
The 2 guitars worked together very nicely (I think the singer's guitar was a little too loud and it was hard to isolate the nice solo lines of the 2 other guitars).
I enjoyed very much "If I feel in Love".
I am also glad you are walking now. My turn is coming up pretty soon for something quite different.

Blessings,
Abel

Thanks Abe and all.
Abe, the mic was on the camera and was on one side hence the crappy sound.
I didn't know the video existed until this May.
Happy days.
