They were working one of the songs to be included on the <em>Saturday Night Fever<\/em> soundtrack album. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the early hours of the morning Blue was in some pain from an on-going health problem so Barry offered to take him to the local hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On arriving in the out-patients department and before he could see a doctor, a standard questionnaire form had to be completed by a nurse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Name, Date of Birth, Medical history &#8211; the usual stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the questions she asked was<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHave you ever been a practicing homosexual?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Blue could answer Barry chirped up saying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPracticing? He\u2019s got it perfect.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Roy Orbison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a British tour Orbison\u2019s pickup band, like most musicians, enjoyed a drink before the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pick-up band was a group of musicians local to the area that you could &#8220;pick up&#8221; and use instead of bringing all your own musicians with you, It saved a great deal of money and red tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The piano player was the leader of the pack in this division. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The whole band, except the piano player, left the bar to take their positions on stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The curtain rising to a thunderous applause, the band noticed the piano player rushing from the wings to his instrument as Orbison appeared on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the first chord was struck the piano player<em><strong> threw up <\/strong><\/em>all over the piano, Orbison looking back at this, turned to the audience and simply said<em><strong>, \u201c<\/strong>Mercy<\/em>!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Little Richard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst performing in Hamburg, Germany at the legendary Star Club in 1962, Little Richard received a proof of his new album cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking at the photograph of him on the front cover he proceeded to throw the sleeve across the room proclaiming,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is shit, I\u2019s much prettier than that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Chris Thompson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\"><em>If You Remember Me  <\/em>&#8211; The title theme song from the 1979 movie, <em>The Champ.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chris Joined <em>Manfred Mann&#8217;s Earth Band <\/em>in 1976 as lead vocalist and with them recorded the re-working of the Bruce Springsteen song, <em>Blinded by the Light<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They were rewarded almost immediately with a hit record, reaching number One on Billboard\u2019s Hot 100 and top twenty chart positions in several other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1979 when Chris was on tour in Europe with The Earth Band, he was offered the opportunity to fly to New York and sing the lead vocal on <em>If You Remember Me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, between gigs Chris flew down to London and boarded Concord bound for New York, from there it was straight into a taxi and into the studio to record his performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The producer was Richard Perry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being on such a tight schedule to record this vocal, Chris decided to remain in the studio vocal room throughout the session. He could be given directions by Perry from the control room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Chris was performing he couldn\u2019t help but notice that Perry kept ducking under the recording desk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a while it became apparent that Perry was taking telephone calls and sinking beneath the desk to disguise it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a true professional Chris ignored this and continued to perform admirably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little did he know what was coming next and was totally dumfounded when, as he was close to the end of the song, he watched a pretty young girl appear in the control room, who then proceeded to throw a cape over Perry and start to cut his hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chris finished the vocal and made the return journey to Europe and join the band for the next live gig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Richard Perry had a cut and blow dry and looked lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Dick Rowe Record Producer and MD of Decca Records<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although many did, Dick Rowe was the only record company A&amp;R man that <strong><em>actually owned <\/em><\/strong>up to turning down The Beatles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the stories below portray Dick Rowe as perhaps the non-archetypal record producer, he was actually much the same as many other producers of his day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few days after turning the  Beatles down he signed Brian Poole and the Tremelos and a few months later signed The Rolling Stones so he didn&#8217;t do too bad as an A&amp;R man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I worked with Dick many times and found him to be a very likeable kind guy and a genuine human being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst recording the hit record <em>Diamonds<\/em> with bass player Jet Harris and drummer Tony Meehan, Dick was very unhappy with one particular drum part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He told Tony Meehan down the talk back mic, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen you get to the bridge, change the hi-hat rhythm and play eights.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dick started to describe the rhythm <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTish tish tish tish &#8211; have you got the idea?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tony then started hitting the hi-hat just by itself with no other drums or instruments playing so indication of where the bar actually started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All you could hear was the hi-hat going &#8220;tish tish tish tish&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dick said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s fine but you are doing it on the off-beat, you should be doing it on the on-beat.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was impossible to tell where off and on where!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst remixing a track, Dick asked the engineer to turn up the orchestra&#8217;s strings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The engineer told Dick that the strings are tacet at that point, tacet meaning silent or not playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dick replied, \u201cOK could you turn the tacet up then?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the mid 70s Dick had changed his image in an attempt to imitate the legendary American record producer <em>Jerry Wexler. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He now sported a beard, wore the hat and smoked the mandatory pipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a producer Dick was renowned throughout the industry for his classic faux pars during recording sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On one such recording featured a large orchestra and, during the practice run through, one of Dick\u2019s entourage who was sitting in the control room said to him, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDick, I think that sounds out of tune.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dick immediately hit the talk back mic to stop the run through, remarking to the conductor, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStop, stop, stop&#8230; it\u2019s out of tune.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conductor simply asked,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Where?&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dick, pausing for a moment whilst puffing on his pipe then pointed into the recording room where the orchestra were playing and said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn there.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Barry Mason Songwriter Extraordinaire  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barry wrote songs for artist as diverse as Tom Jones, The Drifters, Rod Stewart, Perry Como, Barbra Streisand and many more, they have all benefited from Barry\u2019s talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Last Waltz<\/em> was an enormous hit for Englebert Humperdink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barry&#8217;s credits included three UK singles chart number ones, <em>Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes<\/em>)<em>, The Last Waltz<\/em> and <em>I Pretend<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with other <em>Here It Comes Again<\/em> with <em>There Goes My First Love<\/em>,<em> A Man Without Love<\/em> and <em>Delilah<\/em> he had quite a success rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barry Mason was a wonderful lyric writer with countless gold and platinum awards for his songs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He once told me a great story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Last Waltz, one of Barry&#8217;s songs, was in the charts and being played everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One evening he was in a night club and had to make a visit to the men\u2019s room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He found himself standing next to a guy who was whistling the tune to <em>The Last Waltz.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barry feeling rather proud just couldn\u2019t resist the opportunity to say,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I wrote the lyrics to that song.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guy turned to Barry and said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not whistling the fucking lyrics.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Dave Cousins  &#8211; The Acoustic Strawbs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Album Title &#8211; <em>Baroque and Roll<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Acoustic Strawbs have three very talented performers in Dave Cousins, Dave Lambert and Brian Willoughby<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their 2001 album Baroque and Roll was a wonderful album to work on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three guitars were always recorded live straight to tape and most of the time the lead vocal was also recorded live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst recording Dave Cousins could, at times, be very intense, this could lead to a less than cheerful atmosphere in the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whenever I felt this happening, I would try to lighten the mood with a quip to restore a calmer and happy ambience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dave was the only one who wasn\u2019t sure if I was being sarcastic or humorous, with David I was always trying to be funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On one such occasion Dave removed a Banjo from its case, tuned it and to our delight played it absolutely beautifully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he had finished, he said ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDo you know that\u2019s the first time I have played the banjo in thirty years?&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSurely it must be longer than that!\u201d I quipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we were recording <em>Not All the Flowers Grow<\/em>, A song which reflects on the Aberfan tragedy, David grew more and more frustrated with each take until finally he said, \u201cI just can\u2019t sing this song now, I have to be in such a down and miserable mood to perform it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I said down the talkback mic into the headphones, \u201cDave I have an idea, come back into the control room and I will play you the previous track we recorded.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Miller Anderson and Jon Lord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Miller Anderson has been on the cutting-edge of rock for more than three decades. The Scottish guitarist and vocalist has been involved with many influential musicians. He has been a member of such bands as the Keef<strong> <\/strong>Hartley Band, Savoy Brown, T. Rex, Mountain, The Spencer Davis Group and in groups led by Deep Purple&#8217;s Jon Lord as well as folk-rock balladeer Donovan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Album Title &#8211; Bluesheart<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst I was recording the Bluesheart album, Miller\u2019s old friend Jon Lord arrived at the studio to play Hammond organ on a couple of tracks. Jon was the original keyboard player and co-founder of the band Deep Purple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To Jon&#8217;s dismay, we discovered the organ volume pedal was broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not to be put off and ever practical, Jon asked for some masking tape and a couple of thin wooden sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Armed with these materials this majestic figure, sartorially elegant and adorned with beautiful jewellery hanging around his neck headed for the organ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was soon laying on his back rolling around under the organ grunting, groaning and swearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This went on for some fifteen minutes after which he arose and in a triumphant voice said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOK, that\u2019s fixed that!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I shook his hand and replied, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThank you for coming, Miller told me how good you were with Hammonds and if you could leave your card at reception, I&#8217;ll call you should the organ ever need fixing again.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucky for me Jon, who was a very large man, was renowned for his great sense of humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Studio Booking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A client once called the studio and wanted to book one hour of studio time to record forty-five minutes worth of music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The studio bookings manager taking the call said, \u201cYou don&#8217;t want to listen to all of it played back then.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It takes all kinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">TV Jingles <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most music recording engineers will tell you that working on radio or TV Jingles is a real nightmare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not the artist, the voice-over\u2019s, the musicians or writers but the bloody agency staff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency would usually send along three or four staff members who all had their own views on how the end result should sound. A successful meeting of minds was never the order of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I, like most engineers at CTS in Wembley, did my fair share of these micro movies or persuasive radio messages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One night I was watching TV and noticed that every advert that came on in commercial break had been recorded by me and the turmoil of each recording session came flooding back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From that moment on I did everything I could to be unavailable for jingle work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should I be unlucky enough to be booked on a jingle session, the only way I could get through it was to try and find some humour amongst the mayhem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was booked to record a Persil ad, the music went down reasonably free from interruption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then the voice-over guy arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst I was being directed by all of the agency staff at the same time and trying to extract the impossible from the poor obliging professional, I noticed that the word Persil was causing a pop on the microphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had put a pop shield on the mic to eliminate this problem but it was still popping despite this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I asked the reader to move his head slightly to the side so the spoken P would not blast straight at the mic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This didn\u2019t remedy the problem immediately and before we could find the right position complete pandemonium broke out amongst the producers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They were carrying on like it was the end of the world, there was a cacophony of voices shouting,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;What are we going to do?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Oh my God, this is awful.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This is just not working, what can we do?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keeping my cool I tried to calm them down by saying, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s not a problem, I can solve this easily.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The control room went quiet instantly, everyone hanging on my next words, I said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInstead of saying Persil, why doesn\u2019t he say Dreft or Daz?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is when I discovered that humour was not a strong component amongst the clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the next run through the voice over artist put a little less emphasis on the P and everyone was ecstatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Bumming Around Europe <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A guitarist I knew was traveling around Spain holidaying and was playing a few gigs to earn some spending money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He would find a bar, set up and sing whatever the audience would request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One night towards the end of the gig a beautiful young German girl came up to the stage and said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTake me home.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He whispered to her off mic, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t finish for another 30 minutes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In astonishment she replied, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo, Take me home country roads.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Charlie Katz &#8211; Fixer and Booker for Sessions Players<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On one session a sax player turned up late and apologised for his tardiness by saying he had been held up by a delayed Woolwich ferry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chalie Katz, very well-known fixer turned to him and said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;How dare you come to my sessions by boat!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On another of his sessions a cellist failed to arrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charlie asked his secretary to phone the cellist and find out WTF was going on and why was she not at the session on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His secretary returned with the tragic news that she had failed to arrive because she had actually passed away the night before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charlie&#8217;s self-obsessed response was, &#8216;Why does everything always happen to me?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you to Alan Hawkshaw for the above story,<em> <\/em>taken from his book <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alanhawkshaw.com\/store\/the-champ-the-hawk-talks\">The Champ The Hawk Talks<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"524\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Park-Studios-Sweden.jpeg?resize=524%2C359&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Park-Studios-Sweden.jpeg?w=524&amp;ssl=1 524w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Park-Studios-Sweden.jpeg?resize=300%2C206&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kenny in Park Studios, Sweden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-kenny-denton wp-block-embed-kenny-denton\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"jSAPKl0Inx\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kennydenton.com\/?p=176\">Clem Cattini Performs Some Real Magic<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;
