I caught him in 1986 I think it was, on his only UK tour. 'Band On The Wall' in Manchester - anyone other Mudcatters there? His funky chimp dance to an acappella 'Rhumba Man' stays in the mind!!!! Loved the man since his first recordings. A totally sensitive and perceptive writer. Thank goodness he's back to gigging 'cos he's had the odd layoff over the years. He responds to emails too.
