Subject: RE: Obit: Don Partridge (22 Sept 2010)-funeral Oct 4
Wow. Lots of great tributes and bits of info here. I'm writing a book on one man bands and I need help! I have a good entry on Don, although I could use a few bits of info like - when did he promote concerts with Jesse Fuller and Burt Jansch and did they in fact lose money? How did he meet up with Alan Young (who I gather was his one man band inspiration after Jesse Fuller)? Is it true he was married to two Swedish women at the same time?
I also need more info on Alan Young - when and where born, how he got started as OMB, was he inspiration for Don etc
Also need info on several other OMBs from time and area - Kenny Sorensen, Jim Pizza, Phil de Glass, Des Bader, Johnny Magoo, John Scott (Scotty), Moti, Lawrence Glaister etc
Thanks to anyone for help! My email is slimchance@shaw.ca
