    Mr Shapiro, I am writing an autobiography and was reading your “Electric Gypsy” book and I need your help…. I play bass in a band called Mothers Finest, from the 70’s era, influenced by Hendrix, Sly, Zeppilen etc. but mostly African American…. I’ve done other signature things in my career and my early life is interesting, with my father coming from the Seminole tribe… would love to talk….. wyz@wyzard.net

    Mr Shapiro, I´d just finished reading the Biography about Alexis Korner. You´ve made a great job. Thank you. Most interesting was the Chapter about Alexis` time on Pinchden School. Never heard before.

    With best regards
