Thanks, Steve, for the sad news of Betty's passing. Only a couple of days 
back I was wondering what had happened to her. I last saw/heard her at a gig 
here in N.Suffolk around 1981 when she shared the front line with Kenny 
Baker and Roy Williams. I well remember (who wouldn't) her shoving my head 
into the cleavage of her ample bosoms. When I regained my composure (and 
focus) I vowed never to sit in the front row again !! <vbg>

Also, belatedly, thanks for the info on Red Price you posted a short while 
back.
