What memories. I used to hang around the stand at 100 Oxford St in the very early '50s watching, listening and taking it all in (and watching the girls!) before I was press ganged for National Service. Then listening to his Parlophone 78s on a wind up gramophone in a hut in the wilds of Norfolk joining in on my old cornet. Not many of us left now.....

MANY thanks for your nice remarks! Much appreciated!'Some good friends' as Nat Gonella used to write....... Hi Dave! Thanks - and I really enjoyed our recent session together. (For those of you who haven't heard him yet Dave Browning is a marvellous stride pianist in the Ralph Sutton style - as well as one of the nicest people you'll ever meet! Try and catch him soon!) Thanks to you too Alex! Glad you like the Blog - do drop in again before too long! Drs.Irving and Brzzzzz! So good to hear from you and I was very glad you liked the Melly book. It was an enlivening five years with a marvellous man! There's a new book on the way now - an unabridged autobiography called 'Director's Cut' which I'm publishing myself for a few pals. It'll be on the website too if you wanted to have a look later in the year! The idea of a trumpet-lesson sounds fun, but I'll have to find a way of getting it up and running on the site!Keep watching! And please give my best to my other New Jersey pal Warren Vache if you see him. He's had a small operation just recently but he'll be blowing the best horn in the world again any time now! And Cyril; I appreciated your kindly accolade. I'm very fond of my Half Dozen too - it's been a long time now - and I hope you'll come and see us very soon . All my best and talk soon, Digby Dear chums!
