PROVOCATIVE THOUGHTS: Patric Standford (1939-2014). Photo © 2011 Sophie Standford
The late Patric Standford may have written these short pieces deliberately to provoke our feedback. If so, his success is reflected in the rich range of readers' comments appearing at the foot of most of the pages.

Reginald Twiddlebrain

'Reviewer to the stars.'

'... enough to make one weep.'

'Silence is the only response to a fool.'

Born in Goodview-on-Sewer on 32 March 1938, reviewer Reginald Twiddlebrain wrote the infamous Nights at the Turntable which was published here at Music & Vision in 2009. He has since retired from public life.
