I can still picture Tony sat impassively behind Ronnie Ross as they played the crowd out onto the street on Sunday nights at the Flamingo in Whitcomb St. Jeff kruger and his missus were probably counting the silver (5s entry).

Tony was one of my very first mentors in playing drums , i used to see him in Archer Street every Monday eventually taking lessons from him , he always got guys coming up to him offering him gigs , but curiously !
none of them offered me except for a Wedding or two & USA air bases
whereas Tony , Alan Ganley, Phil Seaman etc. etc. got the Jazz dates.

Tonys Toutube ‘Jaffa Daze’ at the Flamingo with Peter King & Les Condon is more than wonderful

Tony, you and your fellow modernists really opened my ears
as I was starting to find my way in jazz, in the 1950s. I heard you
playing many times, with various line-ups, and remember heady nights
at the Flamingo. For all that inspiration,much thanks. Have a great gig.
