I have only just heard of the death of Don via the BBC radio 4 prog
"Last Word"
Very late One night in the late 60s/ early 70s I was hitching homeward to the Hayes middx area when Don gave me a lift.

I realised this was a face I should recognise. But at first ( perhaps my brain was slightly pickled) I latched onto the thought that this was Kenny Everett,( who was more of a radio "face" at the time). I think I blurted this out. He denied that he was Kenny. I think it was only afterwards that I realised this was Don.
I hope this amused Don . But I dont think I have told anyone this story before , probably out of my own , long standing , embarassment. Anyway ,Sorry Don.
