Hi Auditeers,
All this talk about "that book" reminds me that my own book, It Ain't Easy:
Long John Baldry and the Birth of the British Blues, is still out there
winning friends. If you live in San Francisco, or the East Bay, we are
having a little presentation TONIGHT (Thursday Jan 24, 7 pm) at Black Oak
Books 1491 Shattuck Ave at Vine in Berkeley, CA. I'll be discussing the
origins of the UK blues scene, and of course the seventies rock scene it
spawned. We'll also be showing a bit of a documentary by Nick Orchard (made
for the BBC and Canada's Bravo channel) which contains interview footage of
Baldry's famous discoveries Rod Stewart and Elton John as well as a snippet
from Baldry's appearance on the 1964, Around The Beatles UK TV special.
One extra question for the auditeers, Does anyone know for certain if the
Spirit song "Gramophone Man" was about Derek Taylor? (he's the subject of
my next book).
Cheers.
Paul
