    Fantastic to see a young and “armed” Jon Lord and nobody yet could imagine the impact of his “killer” Hammond in the future years to come…

    @9: in 1967 Jon Lord was 26 (born 1941)

    by the way: (1967): no mobile phones, no internet, no mtv, no streaming, no HDTV,
    no YouTube, no Google…

    Have a nice Day!

    This is Jon with the Artwoods. They released their
    last single under the name “St Valentine´s Day Massacre” ?

    Perhaps some publicity ?

    Jon even mentioned the Carnaby Street event on this website:

    “Actually I felt bloody ridiculous,” says Lord. “It wasn’t too bad abroad but back in England we had to wear these suits and I felt stupid playing R&B dressed like that. We all did.” Despite the Scandinavian success, various promotional appearances with actress Faye Dunaway (who’d played Bonnie Parker in the Hollywood film), and a show in the window of the Lord John shop in Carnaby Street which was covered by cinema newsreel, the group disbanded. Wood concluded: “It was a sad way to go, but when all is said and done it was a good single. It had a great atmosphere and I still really like it.”

    What a great piece. Including a 26ish-year-old Keyboard great.

    Can you imagine strolling the city carrying artillery these days?
