I regret abandoning to the rubbish bin, all the old original London U.K. 1940’s -1950’s band sheets I once had which included this and many of the old hits complete with guitar chords etc. They would have been something I could share with you as well as them likely to have been worth a packet of money today!

I was young and ignorant of music then and had no idea what I was denying myself for the future! To top it all, the beautiful Hofner Committee guitar inlaid with Mother of Pearl fretboard markers, which I bought in the 1960’s in London’s West End music shops enclave, suffered the indignity of a broken neck when I inadvertently left it on the double bed in our caravan while travelling!

It was damaged beyond economical repair and today would have been worth a great deal as a collectors item if I still had it. I still have the one 1969 colour photo of myself and my duo singing partner Chris Bird showing me holding my Hofner Committee and Chris holding the Hofner Beatle guitar with closely matching colour and adornments which I bought in Sydney Australia, and taught her to strum along to some of our songs with.
