i was fortunate enough, to meet neil, viv, roger, vern, and sam. this was during the months of january and february of 1981. visited roger twice at chelea college where he taught, and caught his one man act twice. a very friendly and generous man. spent the day with vivian on his boat. his little girl silky was very young. pamela, his wife and i had a good chat...oh, and rupert showed up for awhile. well, what would you expect from viv? every adjective imaginable would be appropiate...simply amazing...neil took the time from his busy schedule, to have lunch on his way into london while working on IWBOR. super sweet and very friendly. i had a long lunch with vd bohay nowell in putney one afternoon. charming and engaging. i also visited bob kerr at home, after catching the the whoopee band, which was comprised of members of the temps, bonzos. james chambers, john watson, biff harrison, sam spoons and vern were some of the members of his band. saw the whoopees and hung out with them a few times. on some of these occaisions, i with with a very sweet lady from minneapolis. big neil fan. lost touch with her. hope all is well.

Welcome Phelswoope. ;D
You're so lucky to have met them and as suspected they all sound really nice people.
