Dave,
Thanks for your reply and the offer of a whole page! That was a surprise to say the least! I don't have a picture to send to you at the moment, I was kind of kidding about that! But I'll send you one just as soon as I have one for you. In the mean time I can let you know a little about myself.

As far as music is concerned I have a studio of my own. I admit that I'm far from a good musician and I have more of an interest in the production and engineering side of the industry. Even though I was very young when John died and so never knew him. It is still down to him that I have such a strong interest in music today. I left my job a little while ago just so that I could spend some more time working in my studio.

I must also admit that The Shadows music is not really my scene, but are any 25 year olds and younger into that!? Of course I respect the work and music that they made and I'm still in contact with many of the former Shadows. Some of them such as Brian Bennett and his son Warren live close by (Hertfordshire UK) And I see Alan Hawkshaw a lot too who you may be aware of. He does much music for TV and some film work I think. Film and TV music is also something that I have an interest in.

Anyway! Enough of my yacking on! If there is anything else that you might like to know then please go ahead and ask.
Bye for now,
Paul John Rostill.
