In today’s Telegraph there is a story about Rick Parfitt, which (if I have done this right) should be linked.
Towards the end, there is the following sentence: “Next year would mark Status Quo’s 50th anniversary; Parfitt joined singer Francis Rossiter and bassist Alan Lancaster in 1964 to form The Spectres, who began performing as Status Quo in 1967…”.
I was quite taken with the idea of “Francis Rossiter”: Reggie Perrin in denim? Or Rigsby rockin’ all over the world?
“I didn’t get where I am today by playing more than 3 chords”
“Great”
“Super”
“I’m not really a double denim type of person”
Cock-up on the clothing front?
Cigar Francis? — Parp!
