Alonso. Many thanks for that link. That was a terrific interview Mike did and I learned a few things. 18 Ed Sullivan appearances, a record for a Rock band, and the first, March 1, 1964, 44 years ago today. Classically trained too, but it's a good job he damaged his hand and had to do 'Boogie-Woogie' exercises with the other, or musically he may have gone in a different direction. Playing early Elvis songs in a London pub at 13, writing and arranging songs, influences include Hank Williams & R&B...sounds like Tottenham's answer to Buddy Holly, and the band should have been known as the MS5! Thanks, Dave 'tyke'
