No love for Chas Hodges on here, as I would expect. For anyone remotely interested

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've seen lots of references to his outstanding musicianship.

This is the bloke who thrilled us with such musical works of art as 'Gertcha' and 'Rabbit'.

Proper little Mozart, clearly. :rolleyes:

He knowingly and with malice aforethought supported Spurs, received a fulsome tribute from Ossie Ardiles and voluntarily lived near Stevenage.

No excuse for any of that imo.

I dont recall Mozart writing anything that could compete with the Sideboard Song or Ain't No Pleasing You.

He played guitar, bass and piano with Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley, Gene Vincent, with The Outlaws featuring Richie Blackmore, with Albert Lee, Deep Purple.......

Whatever you think of him, the dude could play anything.

Remind me where you live, b??

Lets not judge a chap by postcode. I live in Colchester.... :(

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?

He's basically gobbed in God's eye there, Clive.

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:

It's true I live in SG12 - but that is still half an hour away from Stevenage.

I've stopped asking people about football. The place is full of 'Them'. :-(
