      The author is friends with Bill. For this book it was decided to cut off at 72 and the feeling was that Bill's solo and BeBop Deluxe career kicked in after. we hope to do a follow up and Bill Nelson would be the start point. Hopefully we will sell enough copies of this one!

    The GNR had some of the best express engines. We’re lucky to have the chain of their express locos in preservation, from the Stirling Single to Henry Oakley to Flying Scotsman (even though that was built just after the grouping).

    I agree with most but no>>> Justin Hayward the first true "Prog Rock" Guitarist. and would be in the top 5 of your list. Joe Moretti : Who really played lead on Jet Harris & Tony Meehan and the Tony Meehan Combo recordings (Who also mentored Jimmy Page and John McLaughlin) Steve Marriot: Who mentored Ronnie Wood.

    Could not resist the title!!!! Apart from Sinatra, this took me back to the 60's, when on 0-0 gauge(?) my older brother and I would run the Christmas Eve Special! He hooked up his British trains to mine, led by a Candian Pacific...with a real light! Cool I'd say. All, in our little boxroom, upstairs, in a little terraced house with no bath and an outside toilet. Behind us marshalling yards, and a slaughterhouse, to our right we had our only lovely Catholic neighbours and to our left a Guiness brewery. But as Coproal Jones would say "but they were good times"...............thank you John Ryan.....oh ..by the way.....that train, that train...... ran all night ..until Santa Claus came in, when we had fallen asleep at our posts...and he turned off the power......that burning/acrid smell of over-heated transformers! Thank you all for posting. Magniicent! I can still dream of a mancave one day, can't I?
