Surprising how much I now look like my Dad. He’s looking good here. Lung Cancer took him in his 60s.
Mum. Do you think Chernobyl gave your Dad lung cancer
Me. Or the fact he smoked 40 a day mum.

I saw him early 70s. He decided to play that night and it was fantastic. One of my all time best. Breathtaking. Think the lineup had underwood, duke, ponty.
