Hi All
Don't worry, I'm aabout to burst into a horendous bout of karaoke, inspired by Tenacious D's hilarious track, but rather a truly talented and amazing musician I have recently discovered.
Anyone from the UK (and maybe people aound the world) may well be aware of the fantastic BBC radio program, ISIHAC, or to give its proper name, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.
For those unfamiliar to the show, ISIHAC is the " self-styled antidote to panel games". Each week a group of ( relatively minor,) BBC stars would gather together for half an hours revelry and laughter under the keen, if slightly bemused eyes of, Mr Humphrey Lyttelton.
So, for many years Humph (as Lyttelton was affectionately known) and Co. would put a little laughter and mirth into the lives of all who listened.
Which is why it was a time of great sadness a few week ago when it was revealed that he had died peacefully in his sleep, in hospital after a heart operation. It was litereally days ebfore that I discovered just a little bit more about the life of the great man. I was suprised to find that he had been an extremely popular and succesful Jazz musician (specialising in trumpet).
So, having recently started listening to Humph and his Jazz, and adopting him as my "hero of the hour", I figured that I would make a change from my general stream of ranting, moaning, generally unpleasant blog posts, by talking about a truly great man.
Please, Please, Please, take teh time to watch this if you have the time: its curretnly my favourite piece of music

So, hopefully I will have inspired some people to download, or dig out an old Humph track, and the great man will continue to be remembered for what he was - a genius, both comedic and musical.
So, Here's to Humph, God Bless Him
Jamart
