This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

    1. I played drums for a demo of songs for a musical of Charles Dickens' "Hard Times" (music & book by Chris Tookey and Hugh Thomas) in the early 70's. Line-up:
      Chris Tookey - keyboards + vocals
      Sue Jones-Davis - vocals
      Felix Krish - bass guitar
      Mark Henshall - drums

      I heard that Felix played with Mike Oldfield for live performances of Tubular Bells...?
