I've had two major heart surgeries and one minor heart surgery myself so I know that things can go wrong as well as right.

30 Apr 03 - 07:20 PM (#943964) Subject: RE: Good Vibes Please for Steve Benbow From: McGrath of Harlow One-legged? No way - two stumps, and undefeated. Brave Benbow Brave Benbow lost his legs by chain shot By chain shot, Brave Benbow lost his legs by chain shot. Brave Benbow lost his legs And all on his stumps he begs Fight on, my English lads 'Tis our lot, 'tis our lot. A good namesake to have. I well remember a great version of Jack Hall Steve recorded, with pretty well the same tunme as Admirall Benbow. Unlike Sam Hall, it's not bitter, just defiant. With a verse I've not heard other people sing generally: I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd, I saw Molly in the crowd, in the crowd, I saw Molly in the crowd, and I hollered out, right light Now Molly, ain't you proud, ain't you proud, Now Molly, ain't you proud, ain't you proud. |

01 May 03 - 06:33 AM (#944261) Subject: RE: Good Vibes Please for Steve Benbow From: Steve Parkes Just seen this thread. Like Roger, I remember Steve well from those Saturday mornings. Spike Milligan once said, "That was Steve Benbow. They tell me he's a folk singer. I wonder what he does for a living?" Give him my best wishes too -- he's largely responsible for my following in his footsteps! I'll sing Admiral B tonight fo him at Bedford, and pass on the news. It's not mentioned in the song, BTW, but Admiral B survived his op long enough to get back to port and hang the captains who "turned tail/In a fright", so there's a good precedent! Steve |

05 May 03 - 04:02 PM (#946415) Subject: RE: Good Vibes Please for Steve Benbow From: Steve Benbows protege well, Steve is off of most of the drugs he was on. However, he picked up a lung infection that has meant he has not been brought round for his own safety. So, he is 3/4 of the way out of the woods but no way clear. The thing that has got to us all is the fact he walked into hospital a well enough man. He is the fittest person I know and at 71 that is an achievement. So it has been upsetting to see this happening. Thanks for the concern everyone. Keep praying for Steve and everything shall be o.k. On behalf of Steve's wife Sandy and myself, Once again, Thank you. |

06 May 03 - 06:24 AM (#946820) Subject: RE: Good Vibes Please for Steve Benbow From: Dave Bryant I'm sorry but I've only just caught up with this thread - I don't really think that it should have been in BS. Pete (protege) had warned me that Steve was going in for the op, but it was being kept a bit on the quiet. Both myself and Linda are sending him all the good vibes that we can. Also please pass on our support to Sandy. I've known Steve since his "Swan and Sugarloaf (Croydon)" days, and also used to get to some of his sessions with Denny Wright at "The Fox". I can also remember my son (aged about 4) having a ride on one of Steve's donkeys - he's got quite a menagerie. Please keep us up to date on his condition as much as you can, Pete. |

06 May 03 - 10:19 AM (#946969) Subject: RE: Good Vibes Please for Steve Benbow From: Dave Bryant Hi Pete - got any suggestions for a venue ? - I think that it would probably need to be in West London. How many people would you be expecting to accommodate ? To make it worthwhile you really need a reasonable number. Mind you I'm a little chary of organising another benefit do, as the last one (Brixton Bert) was overtaken by events and had to become "a celebration of" (or wake) - mind you it was a great evening and we raised over £330. |

06 May 03 - 02:19 PM (#947099) Subject: RE: Good Vibes Please for Steve Benbow From: Steve Benbows protege Dave not shure yet. I was going to see if you had any good suggestions of a venue.

Seriously, though - I would think that you's need a venue capable of holding at least 100-150 to make a benefit worthwhile. Does anyone have contacts with the Brentford Art Centre place or any pubs with a large hall/function room ? |

11 Jun 03 - 01:24 PM (#965922) Subject: RE: Good Vibes Please for Steve Benbow From: Steve Benbows protege An update. On the 27th Steve went back into hospital with a suspected clot on the lung. He was treated with wolferine straight away which he doesn't react to well. However, after many tests it turned out to be fluid on the lung. Steve was out of hospital on 1st(ish) of june. He is now at home recovering slowly. Can we still give good thoughts please as we had been doing so well! best regards and thanks to you all. Pete. |

11 Jun 03 - 05:31 PM (#966048) Subject: RE: Good Vibes Please for Steve Benbow From: SINSULL I sang "Admiral Benbow" at the Press Room last month in his honor. A valiant effort for a valiant man. I have candles burning for him and a few others. At least he is home.
