Happy birthday Derek. You've been a hero ever since I first saw you at the Toad Hall Folk Club in the General Havelock in Ilford more years ago than I care to think about.

A bit of a hero of mine too. One of the first comedy songs I learned was Sir Quincy de Bas.

82 years young eh? You didn't look a day over 79 at Stainsby in 1981..

Apparently, there's a Les Barker song titled "Nobody's as Old as Derek Brimstone." It's on the 2004 Les Barker album titled The War on Terrier.

I can't find a recording or lyrics. Anybody got lyrics or a link to an online recording?

Nobody's as old as Derek Brimstone
And Derek will be here when we are gone
He once said - he's not a liar - he saw Man inventing Fire
But he never thought to put the banjo on.

(Les Barker, Vodabone)

Derek came one year with us on the Flanders Experience to Poperinge - he's very knowledgeable about WW1, too. Best wishes for happy retirement.
