Thread Name: 2016 Obit: Don Shepherd
Subject: RE: Don Shepherd - is he still around
A crowd of us used to drive from Muswell Hill to the Prince of Wales, Dalling Road every Thursday from about 1968 to 1972.

We always stood at the back because we never used to arrive until about 8.30. We never sang on stage but joined in all the choruses.

So Glad to hear Don & Rod are still around. Reading through all the messages I recall now that it was Diz Disley who did the Dog Piddling Song, not Don. Sad to read Diz passed away.

I am still in touch with that same crowd although many live abroad in Aus, NZ, USA, Can, Indonesia. When I visit we often reminisce about Hammersmith folk Club.I wonder if Rod will remember his final message at the end of the night:" a request from the management--will you please take your glasses back".
