As an early teenager in the 60s, I delivered newspapers on Peckham Lane. I used to marvel at the sounds of Stuart playing his drums in the Colwell house. Eventually, Stuart took me under his wing, and became my drumming mentor, and great friend. I will never forget his friendship, humor, and caring nature.
