Doug was only 22 odd when he played this classic peace , music was not for him longevity wise but he will always leave an indelible memory in my mind.

RIP Doug.

My mate returned from Melbourne around 1974 at the age of 15, he'd gone out there with his parents a couple of years earlier.

He brought that album with him, did it have a drum solo that went on for about 20 minutes? That's all I seem to remember.
