Thread Name: Lonnie Donegan's guitarists
Subject: RE: Lonnie Donegan's guitarists.....
There's a funny story about Peter Sellers making a spoof skiffle record and insisting on hiring Denny for the session. Somebody got the job of transcribing Denny's Cumberland Gap solo into notation to sight read at the session- they realised he probably wouldn't be able to recreate it from memory. Denny took one look at it, not realising what it was, and exploded.. "Who do you think I am, (blankety blank) Segovia??.. nobody can play that!!!". It wasn't one of Lonnie's stories so it may well be true...
