Maybe not as well known as others in this thread, Matthew Seligman (1955-2020) plays bass on this. He was the first person who had any significance to me to die during Covid. "We may all be going to die, but at least we will have made a classic album"

RIP Vivian Stanshall (1943-1995), Neil Innes (1944-2019)

The other guy is Roger Slater, who - according to Wikipedia - is still alive.

Neil Innes live probably (amongst) the best live concerts I've been to (at least in that genre). Unbelievably funny in person (unscripted).

And very clever lyrics with excellent music


Loads more I could post but the above brilliant and not one of his widely known tracks

I still really miss Jackie, we became friends and I gave him a photograph which he later used part of on the inside of a 'Sir Vincent Lone'* CD, No money but at least he credited me in the liner notes and he did give me a couple of discs over the years.

* The CD is 'When The Bridegroom Comes' so if you look at that my real name is on it
