Dear John,
In November 1957 the fine drummer Ron Bowden left the Chris Barber band 
(to start a restaurant) having been with it from May 1954 and was 
replaced by Graham Burbridge who came in from the Sandy Brown band.
Mr Burbridge was with Chris Barber until June 1976, then retired 
musically.
Just a thought.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
