Hi Ken,
I like your tale, somehow though I can not imagine Stan Stennet playing lead guitar, or any other guitar come to that. In my opinion Paul Henry was the best lead guitarist that Lonnie had, more bluesy than jazz. He still plays with "The Band" & Peter Donegan.
Thanks for dropping by.
Dave

Lonnie was definitley one of the greats of british music! I saw him at the Liverpool Empire on his first uk tour. The night i saw him Stan Stennett was a supporting act. Denny Wright was Lonnies guitarist at the time. Unfortunately Denny was taken ill just before the show, and Stan Stennett stood in for him. Stan done an excellent job! I was sorry not to see Denny who was a favourite jazz guitarist of mine, but them's the breaks. I think Lonnie was a very overlooked true blues singer, given the right material. I last saw lonnie live at the Auckland Town Hall, here in New Zealand. That was in 1961, on the bill with him was Miki and Griff.
