Q6. Oh and I have to ask: did you ever see Joe Cocker before he became big?
[Jim and Joe both grew up in Sheffiled, UK, around the same time ... ]
I don’t know whether I am on to the right guy but I recall a time when I was with a friend in a pub when we lived in Stannington: I went out with him every Monday night for years. On one occasion we had the pub virtually to ourselves and this guy came into the bar and asked for a pint. I was stood to his left and immediately thought I recognised him. I asked are you? Did you live? Etc. and he looked at me blankly as he kept saying no. Then my friend nudged me and said “He’s so and so – the singer” I feel sure he said Joe Cocker. But it was a long time ago. But I wasn’t drunk – I have never been in that state. Two reason why – I could never afford it and I tend to fall asleep during my third pint.
