 news flash
This summer Mike & Shirley Levon went way down south to Taunton in Devon to see 'Norfolk' Jim and 'Super Judy', aka Richard and Judy Smith. It was great seeing them again, reminiscing about old times in Cass Yard, (Jim stayed there for a while), and Judy's Devon cream tea was a real holiday bonus!

SUPER JUDY & TOP CAT
Mike's first real attempt to write a song which wasn't Dylan-esque, "Super Judy" was in part based on Judy Smith, then called Judy Pitt-Plaidy. At one point in 1968, Richard was lined up to sing a Chris Coombs song, "Top Cat". This never came about, though a rough demo mix of Chris singing it will eventually appear on one of the remaining three "Holyground the Works" re-issues.
