Monty's band appeared - along with several other bands - at the Middelburg Jazz Festival in Holland around, I think, '81 or '82. A whole gang of us were shooting the breeze mid-afternoon in one of the empty concert venues, and Monty was holding court with some very funny stories - none of which I can remember. He was held in great regard by the assorted company, who affectionately dubbed him Monty Moonshine. He was still playing a mean clarinet as well.
