      Calum, I'm sorry to read your news.
      I've just dug out my copy of his Moonlight in Vermont with Stan Getz to play. It is something special. I was able to find it within in minutes, there's not many of my record collection I can claim to be able to do that with.

        Zoot Sims cut "Cant Get Started" and "Villia" with Mr Smith in 1952 along the very same lines as the Getz classic. Lovely stuff.

        In my school, a hundred years ago, the Ventures were considered quite classy amongst those who twanged at lunchtime. Behind the sheds.

            I remember Tubby Hayes being impressed with Georgie Fame..."He's not a twanger"

            Indeed.
