Knew a bloke regular in my local of years ago who reminded me of Bobby Ball - lovely guy, bad jokes good heart, same accent. Truck driver but he didn't wear braces and was taller and a mate's dad. Cyril's really long gone now and BB going reminds me of how much that generation are becoming a footnote of history* as we revolutionaries that saved the world from nuclear holocaust will be soon.
Less than 10 year older than me, BB was a bit of a ted - not quite ready for the social change that would come - but classic music hall i.e the style we were brought up on.
*Not sure how much history our species has left the way things are going TBH...
