29 Jun 07 - 05:26 AM (#2089824) Subject: RE: Folklore: Barnsley Folk Johnny Booker 65 From: Geoff the Duck I remember the help and encouragement given when I was a young performer and the way he encouraged us all get out to do the show where we were... Oh sorry! That wasn't me it was Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney. Anyway. Booker was always there in the bar at the Winter Gardens during Cleethorpes Folk Fesival. He encouraged everyone to have their turn and one of them was me. Have a good birthday, John. Quack! Geoff. |
