My Fair Lady, Gigi... a towering genius of late C20 music. I was fortunate to see him at Cleo Lane/Johnny Dankworth's Milton Keynes Stable studio in the 70s. Fabulous jazz pianist and composer, owner of a wry wit.

Now he will be playing all the notes in the right order.

Poignant for me.

My darling Dad died two weeks ago and his all time comedy favourites were Morecambe & Wise.

I can remember Dad creasing with laughter, as did all the family, watching the original Andre Previn/Preview skit.

For many years after Dad listened again on an LP..........He still roared with laughter every time.

RIP Andrew

RIP Dad

Another fun thing said by Eric Morecambe.

Andre Previn went to heaven.
A little bit to soon.

There was far more to Andre Previn than a TV sketch with Morecambe and Wise.
Here he is with the Leicestershire Schools.
