Hi Paul
Many thanks for the information about Al.
It is great to hear that he is still playing. The clip you sent of Al was a little short so I couldn't get to see very much.
I got to know him quite well. He used to play lots of different stuff. I remember him learning to play The Entertainer and played it solo many times because everyone was knocked out by his playing.
I also remember I was at that time doing a song called either I Just Can't Wait or sometimes The Apprentice Song. This was because Harvey Andrews on his Album called it one thing and Ian Campbell who wrote it called it another.
After I had done it one night Al asked me for the lyrics and I gave them to him but I never heard him do it....as we went our separate ways about then.
