Subject: RE: Obit: Lonnie Donegan
Saw Lonnie last October 3 at Ipswich Regent. He was fantastic!! Last seen, in person, by myself in 1957 at Great Yarmouth, with Miki and Griff and a young Des O'Connor. He didn't seem to have aged since that time. A little bent and lighter hair but all the excitement was still there. Sadly, his last song was a prophetic one, 'This may be the last time' He assured the audience that it wouldn't be to accompanying cheers from a loving and faithful crowd.
