Helen, I can tell you that Phil had a heart operation last year, but he seems to be back on the mend. Was "Jim Pizza" Jim Taylor, by any chance? He would have been in his twenties at that time, a tall, strong, dark haired young man, who played as a one man band with terrific energy. He worked with Phil for a while and then went to live in Holland. He has been a good friend for years. You might get some information via a Friends request to Phil Free on Facebook. I know Phil will be devastated by the news.
