Samba Lucas

The cousin of the great grandson of Aleister Crowley, Samba has always been attracted to magic. He started to play the guitar at eight, at ten he was making up new chords and by lunchtime he'd written a crap song. So what? At school he excelled in mediocrity and was voted by his classmates as the person "most likely to spontaneously combust". His claim to fame is that he once sang for the miners at a coal pit in front of the devilish Margaret Thatcher. She described his young voice (according to the Manchester Evening News) as,"tintinabulous, fragile and unutterably shite....". It was around this time that Samba came across a horrific car accident. An Indian gentleman lay bleeding to death at the side of the road. Samba ran to his aid and covered the man's trembling frame with his moth-eaten parka. He promptly expired but Samba felt the soul of the Indian enter his body. Since that moment, not a day has gone by without Samba dreaming of working in a call centre. He even got as far as a job interview once but was not accepted on the evidence of his medical records. Samba is the second recording artist to sign a deal in a mental hospital (the first was Daniel Johnston). Samba now lives and writes in the Cardiff area and is funded/supported by the Salvation Army. He goes out occasionally to perform and get drunk. The rest of the time he stays in, performs and gets drunk. Can you help?You may not know it but you need Samba Lucas! And he needs you....----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------"Banking was conceived in inquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of a pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this world would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money."Sir Josiah Stamp - Director of the Bank of England (appointed 1928). He was reputed to be the second wealthiest man in England at that time.------------------------------------------------------- -----------------"I really like it - I've got it already!"
