Thread Name: Obit: Long John Baldry (21 July 2005)
Subject: RE: Obit: Long John Baldry
My abiding memory of LJB was at the London Troubadour in '68 (I think - usual caveats about 60s memories!) when he turned up guitarless, borrowed Martin Winsor's guitar and blew the place away. Not a hint of "Let the Heartaches Begin", although Redd Sullivan (another former member of the Thameside Four) introduced him by mentioning his "Number One Hit".

I have a vague memory of hearing him with Brian Auger, but it was a long time ago.

Hadn't heard of him for ages, though I have Redd Sullivan's obituary from the Independent in which he features.

Another one gone - the rate of attrition is getting depressing.

RIP LJB
