He was a genuinely lovely bloke and an outstanding musician.
You just had to steer past the whole spurs thing.
I will miss him. RIP Chas.... :(

I have already accepted that you have to look past the Spurs thing. I have lifelong friends who support them. Its what happens if you grow up in North London.
God gave him talent sufficient to play with great musicians, and he expressed that talent by writing Ossie's Dream?Quote:

Yes. When he completed his transcendentally beautiful Clarinet Concerto in A Major, I'll just bet Wolfgang was really wishing he could hammer away at an out-of-tune piano while singing about whelks instead. :rolleyes:Quote:

Yes. That 'iddly-diddly village idiot quality' Sir C refers to is also known as 'Irishness'. What he is objecting to is that an Irish song sounds a bit too Irish.Quote:

Actually, that sounds quite good.
He doesn't have a big chin. It just appears that way due to his enormous underbite.Quote:
