I just learnt that another musician, probably one of the best bass guitarists in the business, Johnny Gustafsson who played with the Big Three, The Merseybeats, the Ian Gillan band and Roxy Music, and was one of the finest session musicians of all time.....well he died on 12th September. Just thought it might mean something to someone. Rest in Peace Gus xx

Interesting piece of trivia. Baker Street is probably my all time fav song.
