Interesting. Fay told me a few years ago that SHE was writing HER autobiography, though of course it would've made more sense to combine their stories (despite their separation/divorce)...
The only time I met Dan was at the 1993 Newport shows, though (like Perk and others) I also received a couple of difficult-to-decipher letters! Maybe someone can upload the Newport TV report to YouTube? Dan can be seen very briefly on this. He's also on the 1964 Granada TV show of course.
Dan's brother Mike (for those who don't know) is the drummer for Crazy Cavan and The Rhythm Rockers.
At the weekend I attended a surprise 70th Birthday party for my good friend (and long-time JLL fan) John Pierce, and also there were Terry Adams and his wife Hazel, Barrie Gamblin, Ken Major, Terry Marshall, Keith Woods and a few other fans. Naturally the conversation at some point veered towards Dan's recent demise (apparently he'd been ill for years though pneumonia finally finished him off).
