Can't hear yourself think - Graham Dalby

Graham Dalby's book opens inside Windsor Castle at the 'Ball of The Century' in 2000, when he drops so many names it's hard to keep up. He then takes us through his precariously dangerous childhood from Nigeria, Singapore, and Hong Kong, where he served for a short time as a Police Inspector. The remainder of the book is Dalby's fast-paced life of Classical Music and Jazz and Swing and is a case-book study on how to manage to quaff Champagne belonging to the rich and famous.The style is old school Wodehouse/Waugh but the historical interpolations keep the reader in the realms of reality and fact. An incredible story of great anecdotes, laughter, and some tears - but mostly Music, Champagne and Laughter.
