Thread Name: Never heard of Alex Campbell
Subject: RE: Never heard of Alex Campbell
you still don't get it. the reason i took people to see him, that i was and still am in total awe of him. he never bored me, i knew enough to get where he was coming from. we have no differences on that score
i can remember saying to Paul Downes - the thing about Ewan - he will talk to you
and Paul said, i don't get it - why wouldn't he talk to you.
but the people who came with me - they never came again to see him. they all told me he'd bored them


Wizz Jones (another cabaret singer no doubt|) told me about Broonzy stopping with Ewan. he met Ewan on a train, and Ewan recognised him - andn said, you ought to come round and see this bloke stopping at my place. he plays a lot like you...
they must have all been looking down the same spyglass at some point. Alex, Wizz, Ewan, Big Bill......
where did it all go wrong?
