Even today the Teddy Boys and Mortimer music plays across the universe. Late at night I often sit in the dark and play songs we would practice in your parent's West Park cellar and can fell you near.

The Teddy Boys are still vibrating across the universe with the music we played practicing down there in your West Park cellar. I often sing with you late at night still in my dark livingroom.

Over 63 Years on and your voice is still as strong in my ears as when we played through those nights and sat writing our songs in those days they called the Swinging Sixties. May Dragons Guard Your Doors forever my friend

I grew up in West park. Most of my family was there. Ritchie was a good friend of my cousin Rick Jones. I remember walking up 9W to go see my granny past the Esso garage and hear Ritchie playing his Guitar. Back then he was always called Ritchie Ronga. His mom was a sweet heart. So many years ago Rest in peace Ritchie

10 years on and I still remember us writing songs as we played our guitars in the New York City nights. I just finished one about the Chelsea Hotel. I think it could use your help.
