An unexpected visitor

Last Friday, on noticing a customer checking out the Van der Graaf Generator CDs in the rack and being a lifelong fan myself, I couldnt help but ask about his interest in the group. It turned out that the customer was David Shaw Parker the author of the very collectable Van der Graaf book THE LEMMING CHRONICLES, which happily I have a copy of. He is also an actor and was into his last three nights of a production at the Theatr Clwyd. Have to say it was quite an exciting moment for me and David stayed a while and we had a very interesting chat about the band. I thanked him for his time (and his autograph) and he left clutching the latest two releases by Van der Graaf.....
