Knowing he was playing I took my (mono) copy of We're Only In It For the Money album with me and he signed it and had a chat. Instantly recognisable and drummed remarkably well that evening. |

(It must be admitted that we were not always in an unaltered state at these times.) Imagine my surprise upon reading JCB's obit to find that he really WAS an Indian! |
