Thanks for your input on this site!!

Thanks to Racster Dingwall for getting in touch and jogging my ailing memory with the full line-up of first band 'Blue Soul'. Since I posted this acknowledgement, Racster, drummer in my first band, has died. We were planning to meet for the first time in 37 years. I' ll miss him.

This is a tribute to the talented never-was's - a post to acknowledge the existence and contribution to pop culture of the talented 'nearly people'. One of the most celebrated of these is Terry Reid who almost everyone knows about. Great voice, great looks, was so close to being Zeppelin's singer and has left a legacy of fine recorded material. Then there's Jackie Lomax, from the undertakers, a band contemporary with the Beatles - and he's still out there. Same again, great voice, great looks, very repected in the music community, never got a break... and one more - ever heard Jimmy marinos - vocalist and drummer with the Romantics and later the motor city rockers? Great voice, fantastic rock'n'roll sensibility - a constant inspiration to me. Thank you.
