Often criminally overlooked, in my view. I remember seeing him with 
his missus, Sonja Kristina, in Curved Air (Liverpool University, 
1970-something). Damn good polo player too.

And let's not forget there's no law against hitting the hat with 
*both* sticks... it's often useful to move over the "snare" hand 
(whichever that might be) to play a quick figure on the hats.
