Saw him a few times. It was always like he was in his own world when he was playing. Nothing seemed to bother him.

Shot around the old St Kilda Esplanade etc.

A loss, a true original.
From the little I know, a borderline savant, brilliant at his chosen interests, disregarding of many other aspects of his life.

Re: Vale Ross Hannaford
Certainly my impression of him and probably that of anyone who ever saw him live in a small venue. He didn't say much. He was a different kind of guy.Cutter wrote:a borderline savant, brilliant at his chosen interests, disregarding of many other aspects of his life.

Has been described as "the Jimi Hendrix of keyboards". I would agree.
