Always remember his love for the blues & BBKING ! Liked cars too.
Remember "Lenborough Road" & "Franny Plummer".
Never dissapointed with his playing & being.
Thoughts with all & remember "he was, not that he is gone."

ex Lenborough Road of the 60's.

Hi I just wanted to send my condolences to Bernie's family after their sad, sad loss. Bernie was a great influence on me when I started on my guitar journey in the early 70's. I had the pleasure of meeting him once at the Woughton Campus Theatre in Milton Keynes, such a lovely gracious and unassuming man.
R.I.P Bernie...you will never be forgotten.

Bernie, I listen to your guitar and I wanted you to know how much I love your playing and your music... I am devastated and I regret I couldn't meet you in person. You are and will remain a master of the blues, one of the greats. Rest in peace!
