Just to provide a little light relief with some quintessentially British humo(u)r.
I have just emailed our silverheels/Bruna:-
Hello again
I have just been thoroughly amused by the (Daily)Telegraph's obit(uary) on William Donaldson a.k.a. Henry Root at:-
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.../27/db2701.xml
I have the original "The Henry Root Letters"
http://www.altair.co.uk/RHTHRL.jpg
volume it's hilarious but the obit covers the
better bits pretty well.
Amongst the obit is this statement which should amuse a few Zimmerman fans here!!
"He was also the first promoter to arrange a Bob Dylan concert at a time when the singer was barely known in Britain. "He [Dylan] was sitting in my office one day when I came back from lunch," Donaldson recalled. "I couldn't get rid of the f***er."

I sugested to Bru that "perhaps it is now timely for you to resurrect his idea"
