<DIV><FONT face=Arial>For TIA, Rae Ann<BR><BR><EM><STRONG>About 25 years ago one
of my kids made a tape for me of Monty Sunshine's <BR>band. She listed the
songs, but not the musicians. I'd love to know who's <BR>playing on this
tape. Anybody know who these musicians are?<BR></STRONG></EM><BR>I'm sorry
I can't actually answer your question other than to suggest who the musicians
may perhaps have been. This is done so on the basis of a sleeve notes
comment (written by Dig Fairweather): </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><EM><STRONG>"The current ensemble has had a more or less
steady personnel for years now."</STRONG></EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Monty Sunshine (Clarinet); Alan Gresty (trumpet); Eddie
Blashfield (trombone); Ken Barton (banjo, guitar, vocal); Micky Ashman (bass)
and Geoff Downs (drums). </FONT></DIV>

Luxembourg Studios, London on 18th July 1979 (24 years ago) entitled

Heritage). The tracks on this (Black Lion Label) CD were St Phillip
Street Breakdown / Dusty Road / Just A Closer Walk With Thee /
Careless Love / C Jam Blues / You Rascal You / Burgundy Street Blues / East
Coast Trot / When You And I Were Young Maggie and High Society. My OZ

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Monty (or is he now billed as the Full Monty?) was
featured with our Sydney-Zenith group whilst on tour in UK both
in 1996 and 1998 but unfortunately we did not take any recordings. You
could contact Monty himself direct about this but he may not recall
everyone unless you sent him a copy for comment.</FONT></DIV>
