I have very pleasant memories of chatting to Bert over a pint or two in the Marine but the lingering memories must include his version of "Frankie and Johnnie" and his perfomance as the Jig Doll at Felixstow. When asked how he played the blues he would dismiss the skill with a shrug and say "I just do it". In the last year he joined in our Molly dancing gang and provided a bit of a bass note on an ancient brass instrument. Bye, Bert thanks for your company.
