Thanks Ben. Just seemed like the right thing to do. I'm really looking forward to getting some songs or videos or people putting his words to music.

Second attempt at responding (technology,!). Great initiative Simon, Tony and I jammed anywhere and everywhere from London to Turkey.

Did you find the CDs I made for Tony of his songs and jam sessions? He asked me to record them from my Sony 2-track machine as his had suffered somewhat in Hong Kong. I have them on my Laptop.

Take care, love to everyone.

Hi Mark, thanks! Thought it would be a good tribute, and a better way for the songs to end up than just be stuck in a notebook in the back of a garage and forgotten. I didn't find the CDs (but then, I wasn't looking for them). If you have a copy of 'Freedom' could you email it to me?

Also, don't forget to subscribe here to get the new songs: https://songbook.substack.com

Simon,

He never recorded it as far as I know. I've got several folders of his Sony recordings (not good quality of random stuff) on my laptop. Is there an electronic method of winging them over to you?

You could try using https://wetransfer.com. It's free and pretty easy to use.

Just sent you my 'Tony's Yesterdays' folder of all Tony's songs, jams, ramblings etc via my 'The Oz' Gmail account (ostheimermark@gmail.com) via Wetransfer - hope it works. There are some of my similar very early recordings scattered around the folders that you may want to delete!

Thanks Michael. Yes, was a great unexpected find. Looking forward to a year of learning more about him through his songs.
