LO Listmates and everyone interested in the Kenny Ball recording of 'I 
Wanna Be Like You' and Alan Cooper's performance thereon - it was so 
popular  - and still is in the UK, that every one of Alan's  public 
performances, whether with the great Kenny Ball's band or solo guest 
appearances, has to close with this number, which he has 'made his own.' 

Andy is appearing soon at the Fordingbridge Festival, in the Woodside 
Inn, Sandy Balls Holiday Centre, Godshill, near Fordingbridge, Hants., 
UK - at 7pm, Sunday 15th July, featuring the popular and swinging Alan 
James Band.  If you can make it, get along there and you'll be mightily 
impressed with Alan's sparkling sense of humour, boundless energy and 
virtuoso clarinet playing, in addition to the performance of the 
excellent Alan James Band - admission is a measly £6 - dunno how they do 
it! - for more information, please call 01425 567466.  See you there! 
This isn't an advertisement as such - I just like the Band - and Andy 
Cooper is a one-off, must-see whizz!

Regards and best wishes,

Cliff
