Excellent. The interview was done while John was recording Welcome to Club Casablanca.

Imagine if he was still alive and people ask him to say PINGAS.

Where do you find these treasures? I’m jumping with joy over each new video! There aren’t many fans of Long John over here in Sweden, but I’ve been a great admirer of his for years.

So glad to hear you like the page! Many years of searching and collecting with Jeff Edmunds. Have you read the Paul Myers biography of Long John?

@@longjohnbaldryappreciationpage I adore your page! I really appreciate your work. As of now, I haven’t read Myers’s book. But from what I understand it doesn’t cover the entirety of Long John’s career? I will no doubt read it as soon as I get my hands on it. I Although, I loved what Myers had to say in “In the Shadow of the Blues”. I really liked that documentary, even though it was so short.

@@anton1990 Glad to hear it. If you’re on Facebook join the Long John Baldry Appreciation Page. The Myers book is very good. It does go through his life. Some stuff is missed toward the end but if you’re a Baldry fan it’s a must read. Paul Myers is a fantastic writer. Great book. Have you got all Long John’s albums?
