Bob Downes

[Head Man]

For anyone who's ever wondered what Bob Downes has been doing with himself for the last forty years, here's a recent video of him.

Maybe exile in Germany allows for such 'expression'. Imagine trying to do that in Maidstone or High Wycombe !

Apart from being 50(?) years older...NOT playing his flute...and wearing trousers (flares, of course!)...he looks exactly the same as I when I last saw him, playing on the green outside Euston Station as part of The Camden Jazz Festival in 19-whenever.

PS should this topic be merged with the "UK Old Codgers Reminiscences Corner"?

Hahaha maybe I'll embed that video with my review of 5 Trios...

since this song (another version) is our contribution to this year's european song contest, this song and its obvious deficiences are a big issue to most of us here...

I guess I need some whacko old englishman to finally check out Lena's new song... how incredibly lame.

If I were you, I'd quickly nominate Downes!

Those Open Music CDs are great. He's fun and fantastic. Although she is better looking, I guess.
