I read this week that the old rock and roller Duane Eddy has published his first album in 25 years and at 73
years old is about to embark on a tour of the UK. Wow! that news took me back a few years and brought
lovely memories of people I used to know. In those far off days I worked in the offices of a multi national company who never stinted on treats for it's staff - we had many. Every year the Office Manager called us all together to plan the Christmas party when we would provide the entertainment and the company would provide a sumptuous spread served by a waitress or two. One lovely young man who always provided the music was
again asked to bring along his 'records' but said the Office Manager pompously - 'Could we have something else please Rodney apart from your constant supply of Eddy Duane music?' A reverend hush fell upon us all
as we saw Rod's face as he heard his great hero so maligned. The laugh was on the Boss when we all burst into raucous cheers and laughter as he really had no idea what a faux pas that was in those rock and roll years.
