    1. Ohh my God!!.. I had nooo idea this existed!.. I was there that night, sitting just over his right shoulder, about 3m away; the stage was flat so I'm basically sitting next to the piano.. it was the musical night of my life, the sheer intensity of his expression stopped my mind completely. Everything was different after that night with Cecil, big love to him... Huge thanks for the link, Andy!! 🙏🙏

  2. Dear Andy, thank you so much for the music! I was looking for Sherbourne & Lockett's Slower than Molasses LP and I saw a link somewhere on your blog but it doesn't work anymore. Could you please reupload it somehow? Would be much appreciated! Also, do you maybe have their Café Olé (1990), by any chance?

  3. @ quietist. Well, I couldn't find any trace of it here or in my files. It rang a bell though and I eventually found a cdr under L for Lockett. So here's a quick rip. I don't know of Cafe Ole.
