Our Lilium speciosum var. rubrum is looking lovelier than ever this year!
And so, farewell then, the implausibly-named Plas Johnson, who I just discovered has died, a week short of his 95th birthday.
Who?! I hear you ask, dear reader!
OK, he was a saxophonist and session musician who played on records by myriad artists such as B.B. King, Peggy Lee, Nat "King" Cole, Frank Sinatra, Duane Eddy, Ricky Nelson and Bobby Vee...
...but it was for this that he is most well-known [well his playing is, if not his name]!
What a legacy!
