It is with a heavy heart that I announce the death of this dear member. Known to you all as Scorps, Chris was a witty,intelligent guy. We had mutual friends back in the sixties, when Chris was a London based sax player and we shared a few friends in common. Did we ever meet? We often wondered but couldn't say. We have been cyber-buddies for nearly twenty years on various forums. We'll miss you a lot,Chris. His very witty blog............ www.epicure.me.uk/donations to: www.atheismuk.com/ |

My claim to fame was meeting Ruby Murray at the height of her fame. She had a cottage near to Northampton and when I met her was entertaining Pat Phoenix and others, I remember he because she was nothing like Elsie Tanner Have also been kissed by all Three Degrees after a concert, and have met and chatted to the Queen

Between us Chris and I knew a large proportion on the UKs well known celebrities. He through being a musician and me through my tv/Fleet Street connections.
We rarely mentioned them on forums, because some people seemed to get the egg, if you mentioned any connection.
We mainly discussed such things on PM.
