    <p>I agree, Maryk, that Wally is one of the clarinet greats. His
      work in solo and in ensembles with Humph was sublime. He was also,
      until his sight deteriorated, one of the greatest cartoonists.
      Cricket is one of his great joys in life, and he and his wife Sue
      have separate television sets in the same room. Wally has to sit
      very near to and watch the set from an oblique angle, whilst Sue
      sits at a normal distance from hers and views it from a normal
      angle.</p>
    <p>Cy Laurie, on the other hand, was a nutter who genuinely believed
      that he was the reincarnation of Johnny Dodds. He might have got
      away with that if he had been as good as Johnny Dodds, but
      unfortunately he was only as good as Cy Laurie. Did you know,
      incidentally, that Johnny Dodds's son  had a full career as an
      airline pilot?<br>

          <div>Wally Fawkes!  A perennial favourite of mine ever since I
            first heard the early Humph band, when dad brought me the
            "Humph's Blues" EP back in 1959.  I have since acquired
            quite a few Wally Fawkes (and Humph) recordings, including
            "It seems Like Yesterday" (it doesn't).  I bought SOS'
            "That's the Blues, Old Man" and later, unlike my wont, the
            Lake reissue of the three Fawkes albums on SOS when the
            other two LPs were no longer available (I could not afford
            them at the time of issuance).  And more.  Only not the
            Troglodytes - I have one second hand EP, but so far I
            haven't seen any LPs of the group; I have, however, The
            Neo-Troglodytes.<br>
          </div>
          I consider Fawkes one of the all time clarinet grates (all the
          others, with the exception of Cy Laurie, being American).<br>

                    The cartoon can be appreciated with another face in
