(Or not, as the case unquestionably is).<BR/><BR/>It's good to have the mystery resolved, and also pleasing to see that you appear to have gone on to much more successful things as well. I played the mp3 of "It's Dark" to my Dad just before Christmas, and he really enjoyed hearing it again, so I'll pass on the information to him as well as have a better scour at your website as soon as time allows.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for getting in touch.23 Daveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341570374606412042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-17222452635025238692009-02-20T00:03:00.000+00:002009-02-20T00:03:00.000+00:00It was me!

They didn't come back for another, but Cliff recorded one of mine "She's A Gypsy". I also recorded "I Bring The Sun" and "Tell Me What You See", but I'm not the drummer.<BR/>John Bryant (www.bryantwhittle.com)John Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15855392456148290760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-65620335917162906602008-09-18T20:00:00.000+01:002008-09-18T20:00:00.000+01:00Further on John Bryants with proven rock/pop crede...Further on John Bryants with proven rock/pop credentials from the ‘60s, you can find the Fontana October 1965 version of “Tell Me What You See” on the “Beat Us If You Can!

Additionally, there was a session drummer around the same period known as John Bryant, but I am guessing he won't be the same person.<BR/><BR/>It's a surprisingly common name, which makes accurate Internet research a bit tricky - but if anyone else does have any pointers, I'd be glad to hear them. It does seem as if he may have been much more active than I originally gave him credit for, though.23 Daveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341570374606412042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499949614093219266.post-18292158329892762662008-09-18T11:32:00.000+01:002008-09-18T11:32:00.000+01:00No, I'm not John Bryant, but he also released an a...No, I'm not John Bryant, but he also released an album on Polydor back in the early Seventies. Called "John Bryant" (Polydor UK 2382 069 1971, Polydor US PD 5520 1972), the album was nice enough singer/songwriter fare, and still worth a listen, "Woodbine Annie" et al. Easy enough to find; there are three copies available on the British eBay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
