Shame, "Not Arf"!.   Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 963 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 29, 2006 - 07:05 am:    Sorry, never heard of him. Something of a pop star in the UK? How old was he?   Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 964 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 29, 2006 - 07:10 am:    Maybe I should Google first, then ask questions. I see that Mr. Freeman was a disc jockey and radio personality. When you said "picker," I thought of the country/bluegrass meaning of the word, as in someone who plays a stringed instrument. Anyway, if John Peel said good things about Freeman--Wikipedia says he did--old Fluff must have been alright.   Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 931 Registered: 05-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 29, 2006 - 07:40 am:    I just found out he was Australian. This was a surprise as he sounded English to me.
