Hi Leroy – good to hear from you!! Everyone I know about seems well. Glad to hear that you have survived the plague!
Hi to you too, Leroy. Shows I don’t come to this page very often!
Any Johnny & the Hurricanes fans on this site?
Are you kidding? I’m still rocking that red river!

Hope everyone is well. Kinda miss you guys and the conversations we used to have. Take care!
Hi Leroy – miss you too! Some of us are on Linked In Writersbeach – see if you can find it. You’d be welcome.
Hi there,
I am writing an obituary for my dear old friend and comrade of many decades, Bruce Barthol. Sorry to let you know he passed on February 27. I need a photo to accompany the obit and found one you ran back in 2017 when he performed in Hull at a benefit for the International Brigades. I’m hoping you can put me in touch with the photographer or let me know whom to credit.
Here’s where I found the picture:

Dear Joan,
I terribly sorry to hear that news. Country Joe and the Fish were one of my favourite bands. I saw them a number of times back in the 60s and caught them on their reunion tour which was superb. He had some great natters.
I met up with Bruce when he was doing his solo gigs. It was great to chat and reminisce. I took those photos at that great gig. I would be very honoured for you to use my photos in his obituary. Please credit them to Opher Goodwin.
Bruce was a great musician and a delightful person to meet. As a fan it is always bridging that gap between band and fan but talking to Bruce was like talking to an old friend. Such a friendly, genuine person.
I feel very sad at the thought of him not being here.
Please pass on my condolences to all concerned.
Best wishes
Opher
