Comments :   There is one more surviving member of the RJs- Me!- In 1958, Barry Lewis & I were in Nock & Kirbys record bar, wondering how we were going to find a singer to back the RJays at the Castlecrag community Centre, where we had to perform in a couple of weeks time. We struck up a conversation with a guy from Narooma- Dig Richards. I can fill in some missing links. I remember the night we were glueing posters to those telegraph poles at Chatswood & those hooligans caught him & glued posters to the back of his Bermuda Jacket. Rog
