Ted Heath Orchestra- - Bond Street

Ted Heath was a British band leader playing a "Suite" written by, of all people, "Fats Waller" in the mid 30's while visiting England. The composition was a wide departure from his usual jazz upbeat music.

Fantastic to see a young Don Lusher -- I had the privelege to see him in concert shortly before he died -- a lovely man and a very fine musician

According to Wikipedia, Don was well respected as a musician in the U. K.

My parents liked them too - took them ages to convince me that this Ted Heath was a different one to our sailing loving, classical conducting, former Prime Minister of the same name :-)
