Chris "Oscar Wilde" Aylmer was a very underrated bass player, and the solid foundations that he put down in Samson gave me the freedom to play in my own unique way.
Thanks for being John Entwistle to my Keith Moon Chris. You will be sadly missed.

The new John McCoy cd anthology "Unreal" features a previously unreleased Torme/McCoy/Thunderstick track called "Hard Times" (Not the Samson song of the same name). Another track from the session, "Come Tomorrow" will feature on the reissued Gillan cd "Glory Road" in the near future.
Henrik Johansson and Matthias Reinholdsson from the Swedish Samson Site were recently in England, and I managed to arrange for them to meet Barry for an interview. See it HERE.
