Don Estelle

[Mr Oracle]

We saw him in a corner at Fareham's (Hampshire) shopping centre. He was promoting his CD album, which he had for sale, and was singing to tracks. I really felt sorry for him as no-one seemed to pay attention to him, yet he had a lovely voice.

I've lost count of the towns I've passed through where Don popped up selling his CDs, books etc outside shopping centres. I never found him a good actor, to be honest, but he was very effective in It Ain't Half Hot and seemed a very amiable little chap.

I have an LP of Don's in my collection, which I shall be able to hear again for the first time in many years, as I have just been given as a present, a new record player.

Nice to see Don still singing in that clip so shortly before he died, great voice. I bought whispering grass too when it was released.

Aldi do a nice USB turntable that fixes to the computer if anyone is having problems playing the old LP's

Why did Windsor visit your school Michelle? I'd have thought one bellow from him would have had the kids running screaming from the building.

Well I remember I must have been 12 or 13 and John Lennon had not long been killed, so there was a bit of a revived interest in The Beatles at the time (bet you are wondering where this is going???), so, with our teacher saying if we wanted a celebrity to visit us as a treat, he said to put names in a hat of our chosen celeb and he would see what he could do, and some of us wrote the names of the remaining Beatles LOL.

HOWEVER, it may suprise everyone to know that we didn`t get our Beatle, we got Windsor instead

He must have been doing theatre up here in the North and was good enough to come. We were still happy to have him
