Can’t remeber how I stumbled upon your site a few weeks back, but I just need to know if this type of frivolity goes on often here. I felt a great sadness a few days ago when I first read of you leaving and fell into a deep depression that lasted for at least 3 and a half minutes. After that, and the prescribbed whiskey, I was generally OK with it. The emotional roller coaster is almost too much to take. Not to mention the headache the alcohol caused.
Glad to see you are no longer on the run or what ever it is that you folks on the right side of the ocean call it.

Ramble On Grandad!
You make me smile.

Grandad’s tobacco is a giveaway. Mr X impersonating Josef Locke impersonating Mr X would not have that distinctly aromatic quality - a sort of pipe tobacco with something sweeter. If Grandad is really back he should post some pipe smoke on the web to authenticate his presence.

Hear My Song, as well as introducing a whole new generation to Josef Locke, brings to life the bizarre Mr X - a character who carved a lucrative career out of impersonating Locke in his absence.
Now, 30 years on, Mr X - former Christmas tree salesman Erik Ellison - still makes a living recreating Locke’s hits.
“Now no one will let me be,’ he complained when interviewed in his home at the time of the film’s release. “I do bit parts in acting, but all they ever want me to do is Jo Locke.
Even Mr X gets to be a hero at the end of the movie, which is gratifying for Erik.
His occasional agent Paul Brydson said: “It was Hughie Greene’s idea when he introduced him on Opportunity Knocks as Mr X, an is-he-or-isn’t-he? Jo Locke gimmick.
“It’s amazing how he’s kept it up for so long, He played the South Pier at Blackpool and women mobbed him at the stage door.
“They always refuse to believe he isn’t Jo Locke, He denies it but they won’t have it.
“God knows what he signs in their autograph books.
“Jo absolutely hates it.”
When interviewed, Mr X he was in a rush to get to a cabaret date in Spain and had not seen the film.
“I’m afraid I have to live with Jo Locke,’ he said sadly.
“I even had visits from the Inland Revenue and the police at the theatre accusing me of being him. I met him once.
“He came to see me at the Queen’s Theatre in Blackpool.
“He said: “Carry on son. You’ll make it one day.”"
”And that was it.”
“I went to Leeds for the first time to perform, and they said: “We’ve had you here before,” Would you believe another Mr X was impersonating me”
