“My brother, Derek, known as “Dek”, was a musician. He always had his bass guitar with him and played gigs up until he passed away in 2008. But in the 1960s, we were all just starting out with our lives. And by 1966, I had a small home, a wife and three small kids. Dek would often use my place to stay before or after gigs/ He would often bring by a fellow musician into our home. No one knew that one of the musician would turn out to be David Bowie. You never knew who he was going to bring back with him (laughs). My house became a bit of a stop for him and it wasn’t unusual when he showed up at the door with his fellow musicians. If they were playing near by, they’d wind up all sleeping in the living room. I’d wake up and sometimes never know who was sleeping on the couch. But they were a good bunch of lads. David especially, seemed very serious about what he was doing, he seemed trustworthy. He and my brother would often be in the kitchen writing. He used to play with the children, games of Monopoly or teaching them how to play the penny whistle. David was great with the kids, very pleasant, always polite.”
