A little known, but wonderful pianist, Geoff Clarkson, passed away recently. He was the long-time pianist with that great Les Brown band of the late 40's, 50's and 60's.
Also, his real last name was Van Steeden, and he, together with his brother, Peter Van Steeden, wrote that wonderful old standard, "Home".
He was a wonderful gentemen, and a very talented pianist.
Regards.
Harold
