Hi Michael, yes long time no hear. On the new stuff it is sadly becoming increasingly common for there to be a gap between recording and issuing. Also sometimes a single is released then a couple of years later it is included on an artist's debut album. It's a minefield alright, but thankfully still enough quality out there that is largely getting missed. Have always loved the Billy Harner, think it was first spun by Richard late Casino days (c.1980) no doubt covered up with a fantastic alter ego name, and it has always sadly remained a pretty tough one to find. Hope you are well your end. Steve

Here is what I printed in Blackbeat (July 82): "CURTIS ANDERSON was born in Baltimore, and at age 16 he became the music director of radio station WEBB, where he had started off as an errand boy at the James Brown owned station. He got to know James very well, and when a DJ didn't turn up one day, Brown suggested that Curtis take his show. Curtis went on to become program director of WEBB, WRDW, and WJBE, and is currently Programme Director of WINN in Baltimore. According to the press review CURTIS is a very busy person, as indicated by the success of WWIN and his many real estate deals. He is a good planner, practical, and not afraid of hard work. He's the type of person who puts his cards on the table and aims for the top. CURTIS definitely likes to keep up to date on new developments in the music field, and has brought a new pride to WWIN and Baltimore with the music he is playing. Away from the promotional leaflet, here are some facts about CURTIS courtesy of IMPACT Pubs. Date of Birth: 16-9-53, he's single, nicknamed Curtis or CA, is 5'11" and 192 lbs weight. His hobbies are ski-ing and home remodelling, his most memorable moment was recording his first album…. Favourite artists: Quincy Jones, Manhattans, Patti label, James Ingram, Luther Vandross. Auto: Corvette Food: Anything, especially ice cream. Awards: Jack Gibson Program Director of the Year, Best Baltimore Radio Award". ---- So there you have it. Looks like the album never made it out, so some unissued tracks somewhere.

I came across him in early 82. I'd purchased "How can I tell her" from Soul Bowl for £20 some time earlier, then went on a detective hunt to try and find out more. This was before we had the internet obviously. I soon found him In Baltimore and wrote to him ℅ WWIN. He was very generous and sent me two copies of everything on Charm City (at the time no "second version" of "How can I tell her") + photos etc. of the acts, some of which I used for a feature in Blackbeat. In fact Curtis's picture adorned one of the mag's covers, although it was a horrible Gestetner copy, unlike todays 300 dpi professional jobs. "Hardest part" was later (c.85) and it looks like just before he had to give up radio DJing due to his throat problems. Anyway one of the good guys.

As soon as I saw Danny Baker my heart sunk (sorry!). But having Cheryl narrate it was good, as she knows her onions and is well respected. I guess the BBC can't magic film up from the 1970s if it isn't there in the archives.

I got the acetate from Arthur Fenn about 10-15 years ago.

Good question about Jesse Herring. The original Deena Johnson is listed as April 65, which would have been just before Jo Armstead went to FloMar (as a writer). My understanding and I can't remember where I heard this was that Brad Lundy, apart from being in NY for a while, was from Bahamas and worked cruise ships and that might go some way to explaining the Bahamas re-presses of Breaking Point. In true John Smith internet search posting style, this might help fill in a few gaps: https://www.jango.com/music/Brad+Lundy/_full_bio
