English? yes. A gentleman? I try to be. Originally from Heaton Norris, Stockport, myself and my wife Susan - (from a similar area of Macclesfield) worked our way up the financial ladder over our working lives by taking chances and seizing opportunities. I was a working Musician at age 14. Switched to operating a MAGIC PARTY BUSINESS for Children when aged 30 with my wife Susan which hugely altered our lives both financially and in most other respects taking us into places and social circles and opportunities we never dreamed of. We were engaged by TV Celebs, Sports Celebs, everyday well known business owners, - and even "titled" people (yes really). We lived Wilmslow for 30 years and raised our kids there and retired 2019 a few weeks before Covid. Now in Staffordshire, England with local Cheshire family and family in Madrid, Spain. Any Trades? yes, served my time as a Newspaper Printer (trade long gone.) pianist@tutamail.com State clearly who you are - check this box every two weeks.

Story behind the song
"Guilty" is a popular song published in 1931. The music was written by Richard A. Whiting and Harry Akst. The lyrics were written by Gus Kahn. Popular recordings in 1931 were by Ruth Etting, Wayne King and by Russ Columbo. CHARLIE KUNZ was an American born pianist who visited Britain and stayed. He became in the 1930s the highest paid pianist ever at 1000 GBP a week! put that in today's money. His big break came at the Holborn Empire in London. He was a prolific recording artiste with an unmistakable style of accentuations which I have tried to portray here.
