Big John, of The Bootleg Band, died back in the eighites of a heroin overdose. The bass player in that band, himself a very good OMB, was New Zealand John. A little misunderstanding with the Thailand authorities over the use of recreational substances caused him to spend a prolonged stay in that country. The last I heard of him he had become a disc jockey in Wellington. I have not seen Nick the One Man Band (Nick Cox) for years. The last time was back in the nineties, but he was travelling with his girls (girlfriend and young daughter) in Austria at the time. My guess is that he probably had to come off the road when his daughter reached school age. His timing as a one man band was a bit unusual, but he was a great bloke and a good entertainer.
