Liverpool Ents 1969
My friend Chris Rossall went to Liverpool University and I would visit him about once a month if there was a good band on.
Got to see Buddy Rich, who must have been 60 playing a double drum kit and doing amazing 15 minute solos in the middle of jazz pieces. Also Edgar Broughton that same weekend. Unexpectedly Buddy Rich was the highlight, I mean unexpectedly for me because I hadn't heard of him before, I was blown away.

I think it was at the Pink Floyd concert that someone stole my camera (the Voigtlander Vito B) and I didn't replace it for a long time, then got a Zorki 4 and then a bit later a Zenit E because the Russian cameras offered good value for money. Did I stay for a long weekend and see Chicken Shack? Paul Diver and I would drive in his Sprite/Midget from Derby to Liverpool to see a band and then go back to work at Rolls Royce the next day; but we could have had the Friday off. Chris was extremely hospitable, it was a second home for me and he will remember some very special times lasting well into my third year in Salford. Sometimes I would spend the weekend at Paul's parents house in Chester, which was near enough for outings to Liverpool. 1969 was my first year away from home and Paul was there when I needed him. Boy did we have some great adventures and listen to some amazing music!
