Mebbe...

Richard did tell me at  the ACO Music Festival  at Huntington Estate that RC surprised him with how quick a study he was.

Rusty is not too bad on guitar - so had the strings under control. lol

I know Richard & his brother Simon - both spent quite a while round here. 

Now that's interesting.

My connection was thru his ex Susie & FIL Bob Roberts.

I maintained the lawns & gardens at Huntington Estate & each year planted several thousand annuals or tulip bulbs for the music festival.

Rusty might have been ok on the guitar but I thought TOFOG was blah.

Namedroppers.    Pffffft

I'll just slip in Whiteley - here. lol

Russell has TWO L's. It always amazes me that majority of people only put one L. Back in the old days when we used phone books, mine had over 10 pages of Russell's with 2 L's (in a non city area). There were 2 entries with only one L, yet people seem to think one L is acceptable for both a surname and a Christian name.

How do I know this? My maiden name was Russell and it bugs the daylights out of me and has done since I was a kid.

I have given myself a well deserved uppercut.
