Much as I respected Tub's playing he did go on a bit....many memories of waiting, well after midnight, for the last set of whomever was appearing at Ronnie's - Ben, Getz, Zoot etc. The penultimate set of the night was invariably Tubby's quartet and he always seemed intent on putting down a marker for the guest. His solos - great for the first 5 or 6 choruses - and the set, seemed interminable and an exhausted audience would have drifted off to sleep had it not been for the extraordinary discomfort of the club's chairs.
Then there was 'the sandwich' - not for eating, but as a means of buying drinks 'after hours'
