July 21, 200915 yr 16 Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen - Green Leaves Of Summer ...? i quite like kb though.. I don't - he's an arrogant git! He, and his Jazzmen, one day came into the pub I was working in back in the 80's (after we'd stopped serving food 30 minutes earlier). Our boss was a bit of a fan and as they'd driven all the way up from Southampton that day from another gig - decided to serve them. He was very uncomplimentary of the food. As I recall it was Chicken in the Pot and he remarked it was more pot than chicken! We knew he wasn't going to leave a tip when my sister-in-law (who was on the same shift) went up to him and said 'Can I have your autograph Mr Bilk?' :lol: :lol: I swear it is true! This Green Leaves of Summer - wasn't this the theme to The Alamo? Norma
