Somebody really needs to find a way to make sure Davey Johnson knows about the siruation.
He too is an old friend of Johnny's. He used to have a room in Johnny's flat when we all lived in Montague Road in Richmond (Surrey)
In fact Dave married his first wife Diane when he was there.
Many happy memories, Courvoisier fuelled Monopoly games among other things.
I've known John since he walked into The Hole in the Wall in Richmond, with Dave Moses, and they came and chatted to me, I was playing autoharp in a corner, and singing.
That was over 40 years ago, and I've loved the man and his music ever since.
I'm pulling for you John!
