Subject: RE: Obit: Long John Baldry (21 July 2005)
Saw LJB just once in 1964 at the Edmonton Regal, when the line-up was LJB and the Hoochie-Coochie Men, Winston G, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, the Brian Auger Trinity, the Moody Blues, the Graham Bond Organisation, the Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry. Among the musos were Dick Heckstall-Smith, Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton, and the Rolling Stones played second fiddle to Chuck Berry -I mean, Berry was the Man.

I saw Steam Packet live on TV, and Baldry, Driscoll and Stewart whipped so much energy around themselves that it fired my excitement and my imagination. Happy days!
