Subject: RE: Lyr Req: End of my Old Cigar
Clinton Ford appeared with the Merseysippi Jazz Band at the Scarborough Jazz Festival in Nov 2001.
He has sung regularly with them since he left Butlins where he was a Redcoat, many many years ago.
There are a couple of his original numbers on the Heroes of British Jazz 4 CD Set
I have copies of these titles shown below that i got from a tape of an old LP belonging to the PR man/Banjo player of the MJB - the sound quality is still good and the performances are Clinton Ford at his best.
