Hi ! It is a great honor to contact you, Mr. Simper. I am a big fan of Deep Purple and Warhorse. I have a question about The Book of Taliesyn, the song "The Shield",
Why did not become known as Hush or Wring That Neck?. Thanks to it, I met DP. And it is my fav' 🙂
Thank you ! Greetings from Mexico !
Nick, you are at the same level of Glover. Why did you leave the Deep Purple ? I can understand the led voice ( Gillan is really better than Evans...) but you ? Maybe it was because your terrible clothes ? AH AH Bye
Hi, Mr.Simper! Do you know that have a lot of fans in Russia? You'd never been to our country with gig! Why? Can we hope to see you SOON in Moscow?
Dear Sir, is there any chance you will meet any member of MkI ?
Good to hear from you again Nick...and another amusing phone conversation! I've sent my autobiographical recollections of the 1960s to Becky as promised. They include all the references to yourself although I have to admit that our memories don't always exactly coincide. I now think that it was Jon Lord who was with us on that (in)famous excursion to the little town in Bavaria. I certainly know he was in Munich with us as I shared a room with him. However, don't forget to call me about meeting up before September starts. Just name the place.
I wanted to write and tell you what class you showed in your comments about Jon Lord. You certainly have your reasons to not be so gracious. I have been a nearly fanatic fan of Jon's, most of my life but was always disappointed in how He treated you those many years ago. I met Him in 1996 after a Purple show, and He was a very nice person, but we can all be less than nice, at times. Anyways, Your words said a lot about who you are Nick. A Class Act!
Any comment about Jon Lord's passing?
BEAUTIFUL. NICE SITE. NICE PICS. CONGRATULATIONS FROM LIEGE BELGIUM.
Hello you bum,
Been thinking of you lately. Yes I'm still out there hard at it at 71 with a 6 piece band of baby boomers all in their 60's playing up a storm, loud, hard rock with some country thrown in. Oh and the occasional John Denver - ouch!
Get off you ass and send me an email,
Ray.
Hi Nick. I played keyboards with Some Other Guys in 1964. Just seen a picture of myself...aged 16!...from one of your sites. Still gigging. Best wishes, Steve Cameron
Any chance of site updating ?
Hi Nick! I am a massive fan of Deep Purple and have been for thirty-odd years now. I particularly enjoy Mark I and, in fact, am doing a bit of research into them at the moment. I would love to get your views on a few things. I guess you must get similar requests a lot, but my email address is there for you to see if you have time to get in touch. I see from MySpace that The Good Old Boys are doing a couple of gigs in January - I will try to make one, although I live in Cambridgeshire.
Hi Nick, I have just stumbled upon your site. I see I have to wish you a belated Happy Birthday. Thanks for the nice comments in your Nick's Story (Chapter 15). I thought you were brilliant too. Why did I ever leave to join the Vagabonds....it seemed OK at the time it was a great band with loads of gigs..I hope you are well, and would love to hear from you. Maybe meet up the next time you are over here in Germany. Take care.
Once again: Happy Birthday Nick! We wish you all the best and hope to see you next year in Vienna or wherever you perform. Unfortunately this year we couldn´t manage to get to London to bring you a chocolate cake but maybe we will meet in London in december 2011.
Cheers and best wishes to the other Good Old Boys

Just thought it would be a great idea to contact a few old acquaintances. If you remember Bishopshalt it would be good to hear from you. Regards
