Yours truly (age 9 months) with my dad, Arthur Deacon.
The Merton Barrow Trio : Arthur Deacon (guitar), Bernie Cannard (drums) and the legendary Merton Barrow (piano) (Photograph circa 1960).
For an entrance fee of 3 shillings (30 cents) per person, one could dance to the music of my dad's band at the Maison Garron Restaurant in Strand Street, Cape Town (Advertisement from the Argus - circa 1960).
A 1955 Gibson Les Paul gold top electric guitar - my father performed on an identical model (a valuable and sought after collectors item today) during his time as a respected musician and guitar teacher.
