Sad to hear today of the death of Colin Dexter. Writer of the Morse stories and inspiration for the popular TV series, and ultimately the 'spin-offs', Lewis and Endeavour. Dexter, who went to Cambridge University ended up living in Oxford and ended up writing many stories associated with Oxford University.
Colin Dexter - thank you for the stories.

Indeed David, I only found out this evening that he had the same habit as another 'Film Based Director" , Alfred Hitchcock, of appearing in little Cameo roles in his productions. No guessing the Guilty Party after just a few minutes in his work.

Posted on 19/03/2017 21:33 by ValDaMe too - but with the Moody Blues, Long John Baldry and the Graham Bond organisation, in Leeds in January 1965. Later the same month Long John Baldry bought me a drink at a hotel in Ilkley where the band were playing! And around the same time Joe Cocker, Rod Stewart and John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers played concerts separately on various Saturdays in January and February at the Troutbeck Hotel, also in Ilkley. Those were the days, when you could dance to, as well as meet and chat to famous musicians, when they mixed with the audience before the show or in the intervals!
Sad to hear of Chuck Berry's death............. he will be missed by fans and by other musicians.

Gosh - that brings back memories, Val. I remember going to an all-night blues concert in Leicester in the 60's when The Bluesbreakers, Fleetwood Mac and Eric Clapton were all performing. Clapton, Mayall and Pete Green got together for a jam session at the end - that was something never to be forgotten!

And now we have lost John Noakes, the ex- Blue Peter presenter to Altzheimers I understand. Sadly the worst part of the info I have seen dwells not on the great pleasure he gave to so many, but on his (allegedly) long running battle with Biddy Baxter as if that mattered a jot.
Thank you J N o hope you've been reunited with Shep & co !
