Subject: RE: The Best Music Never Heard
Sure. The brilliant Bill Boazman, whom I saw in Reading a few times in the mid seventies. Wizz Jones recorded his "Roll on River" and Johhny Coppin and Paul Downes did lovely versions of "The Worm Forgives the Plough". Bill himself had a warm bluesy, voice and played excellent blues guitar. I have only ever heard him sing "Bless These Children" live four or five times - and at that some twenty-five years ago, yet I can still quote lines like: Bless this artist whose lines are so fine/Whose delicate touch can open our eyes/To a moment that might have been lost for all time/Bless these children. I have never come across an album of his or heard his name mentioned anywhere. What wouldn't I give to be in a small club listening to him again...
