Been off the forum for a few months... Good to see my old prog muckers haven't changed!!.
I lost my old Man and best Friend East Ham Dave on New years Eve and still gluing myself back together but thought you might enjoy his eulogy i read at the Golden Fleece boozer , Wanstead, at his wake.
He sold french blues to dave dee dozy beaky mick and titch in 1964 which resulted in titch falling off the stage at east ham granada
he played harmonica with ronnie lane in a skiffle band in upton park.
every song he plays on that fucking harmonica sounds like the old grey whistle test theme tune. every. fucking. song.
Reckons his mate Reg The shirt cutter, taught mick rodgers of manfred mann the 12 string guitar. ' Reg..the best guitarist the world never saw'
Pete meaden ( The Who's first manager) ,offered his mate Ray, who ran the East Ham Working Mens club, 'the high numbers' , to play at the club for a white fiver. Ray a Modernist with no equal told him to fuck off . No sell out to the plastic Mods . "Mod was dead by '64".
he smoked jazz fags with otis reading while old Otis tried to kop off with me mum , again at the east ham granada, back stage in 1966.
he went to live in a cave in cornwall for 3 months when my mum left him breifly in the long hot summer of 1976.
when my mum finally left him in 1978, he got steaming and got on stage with georgie fame and ‘done the dog’ , before falling off the stage, at yes, the east ham granada.
after a marathon drinking session and spunking all the housekeeping he returned home to my apocolyptic step mother , with the excuse that , “I turned the corner on green street and got knocked out by a freak gust of wind , it carried me 20 yards down the road and knocked me out. for at least 8 hours…some cunt must have lifted me fucking wallet when i was unconscious “..
Such was his performance he came to believe this story himself , despite stinking of vodka, bicardi, gin and 180 ‘kim’ cigarettes. still maintains this crock of shit story to this day.
insists he is the 2nd cousin of ry cooder and tom waites despite zero evidence to back these questionable facts up.
Insists he met Bob Dylan in a soho record shop in '63 who told him the correct pronunciation of his name is 'Dy-lan'. not a lot of people know that.
Had to tell long john baldry his fortune via a kick in the nuts after Long john tried to whip out me old mans todger from his Micheal John Tonic tin flute in ham yard '65.
Him and Zoot Money had a jolly up with pp arnold after she got her "black mooie out " in the shithouse of the Wag club /pink flamingo/ whiskey a go go* delete as appropriate.
We as a family, have been robbed of our birthright and rightful fortune as his aunt marjorie is the illegitimate offspring of a bunk up between lord astor and her mum in the stables.
The scandal was so great, she was drugged with some undetermined opiate by those in Lord Astor's employ and "transported up north" while 6 months pregnant with the lords aristocratic harry monk and some hush money..." a few fucking guineas.. fuck all Glenn.."
he had a affair with stephanie desyks. for further veracity, " her cunt had a stringy bit on it".
