Dear Harry,
Aw, come on mate. Stone the crows.
I wuz in bed when me mate Gerard's query hit Oz at 12.56 am this morning.
Me ovva mate John Petters had it all sown up while I was still in a deep sleep.

BTW, I do know the pianist Perth-based John Gill, who is now considered 'one-of-us'.
I also met the US John Gill, when he was a member of the Turk Murphy band.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
