As always Jim, you find it hard to accept evidence from anyone who was closer to what happened at the time if it doesn't conform to what you have in mind.

I will gladly bow out from this thread as we all know what happened to a previous thread which was at times very enlightening but became contaminated and had to be closed down.

However if you ever come across the issue of Jazz News containing the article and photograph of which you write please let me know. I would like to add it to my collection of rare magazines.

Many thanks.
