I heard Buddy Holly and Hank Marvin first. Bert always seemed pretty tame in comparison.

Howard,

Give it a listen on iPlayer.

I failed with this and met Bert himself 20 years later and told him it hadn't worked ….he merely smiled

Nice man though … I started photographing musicians instead which was easier for me but I've always wished that booked had worked for me!
