    Nobody can do Cry to me like Steve Lonsdale did. As a teenager I was so in love with him!!

      A primary school friend of mine who i coaxed into playing the guitar, his mom actually bought our instruments at a bicycle shop in jules street in Malvern where we grew up actually played bass for a stint in this group. He was on bass on Cinnamon Girl. His name, Andre' van Zyl. I believe he passed away in 2012. He was 7 days older than me. Born in 48. Would have been 76 on the 15th April 2024. Fond memories if our early days trying to learn by ear at every Shadows single that was released. We had a few appearences on stage with the Gladiators. We were 15 at the time. I was on lead and he played rythm.

    Worked with Steve Lonsdale at Felstar Publishers way back and helped write the lyrics for a song the staccatos were doing for a film, The Second Sin (if a fading memory serves). The film was pretty poor and the song not much better, but the Staccatos pulled their magic and turned the song around.
