Pee Wee Charles really gave Gord his "trademark sound" in the 70's,

Wow Yuri and Kelly you reminded me:-
of a recent Newsgroup thread
"Terry Clements Or Red Shea?" at:-
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.music.lightfoot/browse_frm/thread/326141cb16212839/50c8875947d7f22a?hl=en#50c8875947d7f22ahttp://groups.google.com/group/alt.music.lightfoot/brow se_frm/thread/326141cb16212839/50c8875947d7f22a?hl=en#50c8875947d7f22a
which has amongst a discussion of the perceived merits of Red Shea compared to Terry Clements some speculation on when Terry joined the Lightfoot Orchestra, and whether they did indeed ever play together.
The thread included some interesting musings by Richard Harrison and I was able eventually to state quite categorically that
"I HAVE now unearthed conclusive evidence that at that June 10 1972 concert both Red and Terry played (the latter as second lead guitar) but not
necessarily at the same time. In a similar vein it is also a fact as confirmed by Mike after the concert at New Jersey's Red Bank concert on
April 13 2002 that the May 18, 1981 Royal Albert Hall concert featured both Mike and Pee Wee"
I have now refound a copy of the souvenir programme from that June 10th 1972 Royal Albert Hall London concert
My London University College (Imperial) is just off this screenshot at the bottom
and that was the best aerial view I could make using
windows local live a few weeks back (no birds eye view yet available)
TNe programe which is almost identical to the earlier 1969 and probably the 1970 programmes displayed on corfid at:-
http://www.corfid.com/gl/frank.htm
But it has one vital difference, this being that on the opening page it quite unequivicably lists the musicians as
Red Shea Guitar
note decidedly not the Irish interloper Red O'Shea (sic) that is shown in the 1969 issue!!
Terry Clements Guitar
Rick Haynes Bass
As soon as I get my scanner programme to reload I wiil scan that page and report back here.
see you
