Preface

Memory Lane

When I embarked on documenting London's Musical Heritage, it became apparent that I would have to make choices as to who I thought were the people that significantly influenced the musical scene in these important historical years.

It's understandable that all the musicians of all the bands and their leaders at the time contributed to this memorable and interesting outcome.

Specific musicians (as I recall) were the driving force that left us with legacies through their artistic abilities and enterprising efforts. These special people displayed a great pioneering spirit.

Hopefully my experiences and memories of this era are such that I am able to give "recognition" to these creative individuals.
