Hi Mark , thank you for your reply and also for putting up the youtube attachment ...I can open it up just fine I'll study it when I get the right moment .
I'm glad you had a good trip down the lane of " ye merry old England " as you say it was a wonderful era !! it has all changed !! and not for the better .
Valentino (aka Jackie Farn)and I have been very good friends since I first met him in Great Yarmouth Norfolk where he was appearing at the Wellington Theatre end of Pier show for the summer season ,with Frank Ifield (I remember you hit song )and Roy Hudd comedy . Valentino knocked me out with his stage presence and the playing of the special Cordovox accordion .it was indeed an awesome sound never ever heard another Cordovox sound as good as his custom built machine .
I actually got to play it many many times at his home and also in the wellington pier theatre when it was closed and he was the only one sitting right at the back of the theatre , listening to me !!I could not believe the truly fantastic sound it produced .it's an experience that has never left me .
Yes you are correct wonderful times wonderful memories .

I'm in regular contact with Valentino he is keeping well and plays his grand piano very day .

His wife Lynn (stage name Sheba)were a fantastic double act and toured the world with their cabaret act !!!
