G H Richardson tribute discs
In AMPLINEX 024 we reported the death of one our regular
contributors, George (G H) Richardson. Jack Wrigley has now written to us with
details of a tribute to George.
AMPLINEX members who have enjoyed the musical contributions
of the late George Richardson over the years may want to acquire two tribute
discs to George and help Cancer Research at the same time. The first disc contains
all of George's original compositions, while the second is a selection of
classical and dance pieces. Some have already been published in AMPLINEX, but
George's family and myself think it would be a fitting tribute to release his
entire AMPLE work as a collection.
Just send (AMPLINEX-style) two 80-track or three 40-track
formatted discs in a re-usable carrier with stamped return address label to:
Jack Wrigley
187 Bramhall Lane
South Bramhall
Stockport
Cheshire
SK7 2NG

All we ask is that you enclose a cheque for £3 (or more if
you can afford it) made payable to: "Christie Hospital & Holt Radium
Institute". This is the Manchester hospital that treated George. Please
give generously to help combat a disease that claims far too many people every year.
It seems more than 4 years ago since I first struggled to
get to grips with AMPLE and in desperation made contact with George via
AMPLINEX. Needless to say, George soon put me on the straight and narrow until
I blundered into the next problem, usually the day after. As John Bartlett has
already said, George put a lot of his time into AMPLINEX and it was part of a
long and happy retirement.
In putting these discs together I have been reminded of the
great love George had for music and the helpful nature of the man himself.
Quite simply these discs contain music that one can listen to many times over. I'm
sure you'll enjoy what George has left us to remember him by.
