He was a real pioneer, if you'll excuse continuing the mild pun. - 5 April 2012 16:57163476You have ear'd that lassitude Ray.

I am a little confused that it says he passed away Milton Keynes, southeast England. - 5 April 2012 23:00163598Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
- 20 April 2012 09:58166810Another one, Bert Weedon - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17781762
And another if you're into rhythm or Dylan, Levon Helm of The Band - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-17779551 - 20 April 2012 18:28166928I've still got Bert Weedon's "Play in a Day" somewhere. Just about anyone who plays guitar must have started with that. Rather an optimistic title though.
- 20 April 2012 19:19166949I went through the Big Bill Broonzy school but I did see Bert Weedon at Plymouth's Palace Theatre in 1961 - the Temperance Seven (remember them?) were on the same bill. Bert was a pure showman, slick and flawless.
What's particularly saddened me is the death of Levon Helm, formerly of The Band. A thoroughly decent man with a tangible enthusiasm for his music. Sadly this leaves only Robbie Robertson and Garth Hudson left.

Roger - 23 April 2012 10:30167500At last I can add my appreciation of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band to the conversation in quoting a line or two from one of their songs...
"We are normal and we want our freedom, / we are normal and we dig Bert Weedon"
Here is a link to Bert's Obit in the Guardian...
