Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:40pm

In the wake of Jimmy Saville and Operation Yewtree, a number of entertainers from that period were taken in for questioning to varying degrees, and some ended up being prosecuted and imprisoned. That's why I mentioned Cliff.

Jan Turkenburg:

Yes, it was a rough week, But the cats are in the clear now. One of them probably had a heart small attack recently. They let me hear his heart and asked if the interns could have a listen as well. It was a rare kind of heart rhythm (like all over the place..) but it doesn;t seem to bother the little old man, so... steady as she goes :-)
  1:54pm
Martinibomb:

@Fab yup it's just going to be Don Wilson. Says he's selling off the Ventures guitar/gear collection tomorrow plus signing autographs/taking photos etc.. it's at a friend of mine's guitar shop which luckily just a few blocks from my house and The Ventures were probably the first thing I was interested in music wise as a kid

Setzers Christmas show is a lot of fun I've seen a couple of times. He does a a little 3 man Rockabilly greats/Straycats section in the middle of hte show.
