On the: The Thousand Threads, a Neneh Cherry's Book, there is this information: ... By 1954, and still in high school, Don had earned a union card and was playing professionally. Often, he would compete in talent shows around the neighbourhood with people like Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson. Don said that Johnny, slicker than the rest, always won. With Billy, George Newman and Pee Wee Williams, they formed a group called the Jazz Messiahs, playing bebop and jazz in clubs around town. Together they played R&B clubs, going as far north as Vancouver. .. My question is: Is Pee Wee Williams a bass player? Does anyone know him?

I remember him with Kid Creole & the Coconuts. They had some good albums.

Not true. You still have some great Bert Jansch, and many of the songs are interesting. Not "just" folk songs. Try listening to the Live album (their last release)

O’Gallagher has always been an interesting player/composer for me. I’m in on this one.
