    But he would have still sold insurance!

    Very good look-alike.

    Default Rehabilitating Bernard Manning

    To many people Bernard Manning was a pariah, but wouldn't they change their minds if they knew he wrote those jolly string symphonies and The Barber of Seville?

    Confession time: Shostakovich could be my twin brother - and no I'm not putting up a photo to prove it!

    I think Sir Edward Downes was told that he looked like Shostakovich...by DSCH himself! Can someone confirm this story which I think Sir Edward told in a TV interview?

    Bernard Msanning had a nice tenor singing voice and cut several songs for Decca. I remember Pete Murray playing some on his Sunday night show on LBC aeons ago

    I can't find examples anywhere
