The highlight of the day was dinner chez Keene, where a liberal quantity of Chinese food was washed down with an equally liberal quantity of the Keene family wine lake. The evening was topped off by an exquisite bottle of 1975 port (served in solid silver, monogrammed goblets – what else?), with musical accompaniment in the form of "The Entrance of the Gods into Vallhalla", from Wagner's "Ring Cycle". Life does not get a great deal better; indeed, it is almost enough to make one feel sorry for the termites!</i>AngusFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312254103335063535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970746810324898604.post-21075696620091098632017-04-16T10:13:22.781+02:002017-04-16T10:13:22.781+02:00Happy to make the correction Steve.

You'll find it tricky, because I have never interviewed Ray, not for BCM nor any other publication. The BCM did have an interview with him, conducted by John Saunders, some years before I became editor. Is Saunders also a professional arse-kisser?<br /><br />Steve GiddinsSteve Giddinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151281807838741422noreply@blogger.com
