    What is the connection between Clive Dunne's song "Grandad" and Lou Reed's "Walk on the wild side"?

    I'll give it to you, Theo. Herbie Flowers was the session bassist on "Walk on the wild side". He came up with the distinctive bass line that IMHO makes the song. He got paid a flat £7 for that. He later wrote "Grandad" and made a lot of money out of that.

    I found out that Rick Wakeman played piano on the Grandad recording.

    Not a lot of people know that. ;)

    OK, I shall show my age again..

    Who resented the criticism that he was typecast in war movies, insisting that he had in fact played fewer military roles than John Mills, Trevor Howard or Richard Attenborough?

    Sorry folks, otherwise engaged. Yes, Jack Hawkins, whose other main claim to fame was that his cousin played golf with my dad...
