Thanks Paul
I pause before I click on this thread now as I dread finding who we have lost. More relevant to us of a 'certain age' as the guys we knew when we were growing up have reached the end of their lives Sobering thoughts

It's with great sadness I have to report that my friend, Sanderson "Top" Topham (a.k.a. Sanderson Rasjid), has passed, aged 75. I wrote a potted biography of Sanderson some time ago, and he was gracious enough to get in touch to thank me and tell me he enjoyed reading it and we stayed in touch, on and off, from then on. Another Yardbirds guitarist gone just a couple of weeks since the last. That's a great piece Paul. A sad loss. Though I never met him, he was the neighbour of a teenage friend of mine, who lived in Wales.

Pretty much dumbfounded to hear this. I expect I'll be playing 'Marquee Moon' and 'Warm and Cool' pretty much non-stop for then next few days.

I expect I'll be playing 'Marquee Moon' Sad to hear this, too. I'll give Marquee Moon a play again later, after a long break.
