Cheers for putting me right. I have vague recollections. He didn't do that "In the year 2525" thing, did he?

Anyway I wasn't a big fan, I'm afraid. I was into Free and Jethro Tull at the time. Sorry!

My dad was a big fan and I think I grew to like him by osmosis. I still like "New world in the morning" as it reminds me of dad.
