Had a writers block over the last few days. The weather has not helped...nor the lack of exercise. Trying to put it right today with a walk into the city. Just perking up, when I received a phone call, that another musician had passed away. Harold Kyte was one of the founders of the Kyte Hopkins big band. This later went on to become the stapleford big band and finally the Risley big band. I joined his first band at a mere 15 years old. I then went on to join the army and then rejoined the Stapleford big band 18 years later. Harold was at the helm throughout...until illness took over. A fine jazz player and well respected by all musicians. Rest easy my friend x
