<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>

I was reminded in the non-political mailing linked
to below<br>
<br>
<br>
The cartoon can be appreciated with another face in
the place of the one shown.<br>
Too many faces, to be sure,<br>
<br>
and not Ruby Braff, Wally's caricature of whom
nearly sent Kenny Davern into orbit.<br>
WHO DID THIS? Search Google Images for more delights<br>
