Can't resist this.
I used to be in the same youth club as Steve Winwood (still remember the uproar when he left school at 14 to further his musical career, and brother Muff (very very talented musician).
Used to play football with them. They lived 200yards from where I lived.
They used to come to the youth club and sing skiffle with the tea chest Bass and the washboard etc. It was very good.
Their father was a very good musician.
Used to be a member of a trad jazz club in Erdington in Brum, which my mates ran. Anyway one night this scruffy old git came along with guitar and asked if he could sing in the interval. He sang Lonnie Donegan songs and he was crap. It was Spencer Davis.
So I was very surprised when I heard that they were teaming up with Spencer Davis to form the Spencer Davis Group.
Anyway, I used to have the LP with John Barleycorn on with Steve Winwood. Wore the bloody thing out.
