I have never had much trouble with musicians when I am working but, most of what I have had has been with difficult jazz musicians. |

I am watching Sammy Davis Jnr. I know he was extremely talented but I am not getting much out of it. |

Ella Fitzgerald - a velvet voice - loved Kenny Ball too - he did a lot of gigs at the hospital where I worked - he was a friend of the hospital hairdresser and he did gigs "cash in hand" whenever he was in the area |
