From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I WAS BORN IN DOBREE AVENUE AND THEN LIVED THERE AFTER THE WAR MID 40S ONWARDS TILL 1960 WHEIN I ADVENTURED TO PARIS WITH ANOTHER PAL ARTIST MIKE KAY FROM WILLESDEN.I.BUSKED THE PARIS STREETS AND THEN WE DROVE TWO SCOOTERS OVERLAND TO JERUSALEM..!YES FOLKS IT'S TRUE.
I SPENT TIME IN THE LIBRARY AND REFERENCE LIBRARY UPSTAIRS DOING HOMEWORK FOR KILBURN GRAMMAR. OTHER BOYS INCLUDING BERNIE X SPENT A LOT OF TIMELY VISITS TO POUR OVER ERIC PARTRIDGE'S DICTIONARY OF SLANG AND UNCONVENTIONAL WORDS,OUR FIRST EXCURSION INTO FILTHY THOUGHTS.AND INNUENDO..!!
MY DAD WAS A PHD AND AUTHOR WHO USED THE REFERENCE LIBRARY ON A REGULAR BASIS..BOTH FOR RESEARCH AND A 15 MIN WALK DESTINATION..IT WAS DOWNHILL THERE AND STEEP HILL BACK HOME ..I USUALLY DID IT BY BIKE..THE PEACOCKS BIKE SHOP WAS NEARBY.
NEXT TO THE LIBRARY WAS METRO RADIO AND AS A SPECIAL TREAT WE VERMIN NON CUSTOMER NEARLY TEEN KIDS WERE INVITED IN TO WATCH THE CUP FINAL IN BLACK N WHITE ON THEIR SMALL SCREEN.TV.. MAGICAL HOW IT ALL WORKED!.DAVE FROM METRO RADIO WAS MY FIRST GUITAR TEACHER..DAVE BLESS YOU FOREVER.THANKS TILL I DIE.
.THE LIBRARY WAS THE FOCAL REFERENCE POINT FOR MEETING AND DIRECTING FRIENDS.! ON 27TH WILLESDEN BOY SCOUTS BOB A JOB DAYS IT WAS A GOOD PLACE FOR SHOE SHINES TILL WE FOUND A MORE CAPTIVE OR MOVING CLIENTELE AT WILLESDEN GREEN STATION.. OH YES I THEN HELD THE ROUND THE BLOCK DOBREE/ROWDEN AVE BIKE RECORD I.MIN 10SECS TILL 1960..DID ANYBODY EVER BEAT IT??..
