Been reading a book about him, as well as watching some youtube clips. What was your impression of the fella?
 
He played piano like you do when drunk.
 
i used to live near him......he took up with the bar maid from the pub...tragic tracey as she is known by the locals.....

he died 4 days after my mum .....
:cry: :cry:

he was a jolly bloke who used the local spar shop, and was happy to chat to anyone :D theres a statue of him in St Annes... :D

and to play the piano like he did takes a true genius!....
 
Self taught pianist - learnt it during his time in the army by all accounts and had a natural propensity for it
 
A true comic genius and to play the piano that badly takes bundles of skill.
 
He didn;t get his "big break" until he was 36. Shows a lot of will power and resilience to keep on gong
 
The only line I remember him saying was, "He mopped his fevered brow with a damp weetabix".

It made me laugh.
