Bill pays tribute to his ‘great friend’ Tony Clunn MBE ...

Bill Wyman has paid tribute to his great friend Tony Clunn MBE, who sadly passed away on August 3 in Germany.

Tony Clunn MBE was a retired major in the British Army, who famously discovered the main site of the Battle of Teutoburg Forest at Kalkriese Hill. He was appointed a Member of the British Empire in the 1996 New Year Honours.
Bill became great friends with Tony following their shared interest in metal detecting and archaeology, with Tony presenting Bill with a gift of Roman coins following his discovery.
Bill paid warm tribute to his great friend:

He did metal detecting on the side near Osnabruck in Germany and discovered the route that three legions of Roman Soldiers took through the Teutoberg Forest at Kalkriesa, Germany, where they were massacred by the German tribes in 9 AD. It is also often referred to as ‘The Varus Battle’.
People that are interested can find out more about Tony Clunn (below) and they will find masses of info on him  his discovery online. His books can be bought from Amazon and are a great read.

Tony Clunn – much like Bill – searched for Roman coins as a hobby, and his detecting in Germany unearthed the first evidence of Roman military activity in the Kalkriese region. On the basis of Tony’s finds, major excavation work was undertaken, resulting in new understanding of the route taken by the Roman legions.
You can read more about Tony and his quest for the Roman legions in his excellent book, which is available on Amazon both as an ebook and physical book. His latest book is Quest for the Lost Roman Legions: Discovering the Varus Battlefield.
More information about Tony’s life and history is available online, including a short obituary here.
Below, Bill asked that this tribute includes the wonderful gift Tony presented to Bill following his discovery.

Tony is survived by his wife, Anna Cheeseman-Clunn; and children, Jana, Mark Anthony and Josephine Louise. Bill’s thoughts are with them.

Family Values: Keith and Theodora Richards

Rolling Stone Keith Richards and his daughter Theodora have joined forces to create a new children's book, 'Gus & Me: The Story of My Granddad and My First Guitar.' Here, they weigh in on their collaboration.

By Stephen Mooallem

KEITH RICHARDS: My granddad Gus was a musician. He was the one who turned me on to music. He had some daughters too, so he was al-ways looking for guys to hang with. [Laughs] But this book didn't come from me. It was put forward as an idea that some other guys had come up with about certain chapters in Life [Richards's 2010 memoir]. They said, "These would make a great kids' book." So I said, "Yeah." I was about to become a grandfather for the fifth time, and I had a daughter who likes to do illustrations, and I felt I could keep it in the family, and I did also want to bring Gus to life again.
Theo has always been a little illustrator, and she did a lot of research. She also wanted to know more about her great-grandfather. She would call me up frantically some nights saying, "What hat did Grandpa wear?" and "Where the hell is Primrose Hill?" So it sent her on a little journey.

I suppose there's a reflective part of it—although my life and career hasn't really lent itself to much reflection. But, you know, I've done my gig, and you get to live to the end of the string as far as I've got, and certain other things take on more importance than they did when you were younger. The parenting is real hands-on stuff, but as a grandparent you are greatly removed—and once the kids start to realize that you're actually their daddy's daddy, you sort of rise in their estimation. [Laughs] But grandkids and grandparents can be connected in a special way. Gus kicked me into music, and I found out what I loved to do. He let me hold the guitar and showed me the notes to "Malagueña." So I thought this story was something to pass on, maybe turn a few kids on—and a few grandpas on.
Now I search for talent in my grandkids—and some of them have got some. They probably listen to what most kids listen to because I don't influence them in any way. Maybe only through their parents because their parents still play some good soul music and some blues. They play that to keep them grounded. But I am not there to judge musical tastes or anything. I just observe.
"Gus kicked me into music. … So I thought this story was something to pass on, maybe turn a few kids on—and a few grandpas on."

"I drew a woman with a baby in her arms and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. They were like, 'Darling, this is a children's book.' " -Theodora Richards

THEODORA RICHARDS: I've always been a daddy's girl. I'm also named after my great-grandfather—Theodore Augustus Dupree. That's why it was so wonderful that my dad asked me to do this book. I literally stayed inside for months doing drawings of London and Dad's face and his grandpa's shoes and the dogs and armchairs and cakes and the landscape. In the beginning, my drawings were really, really dark. I drew a woman with a baby in her arms and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. They were like, "Darling, this is a children's book. We can't have that." Also, the English smog where you couldn't see two feet in front of you—I had to fluff up 1940s England a bit. It was a challenge, but I loved it, and I loved that it all was coming from my head and Dad's words.
I love seeing Dad now with his five grandkids. You know, 10 years ago my dad would never have watched a musical. He'd make such fun of them. You'd think that somebody who is so into music would love musicals, but he'd be like, "That guy's asking for directions and the other person just bursts into song?" But now he'll watch Frozen and all the Disney stuff with his grandchildren.
It wasn't like that when I was a kid. The way I was brought up, it was classical music in the morning, reggae in the afternoon, and rock 'n' roll all night. It was the Everly Brothers, Anita O'Day, Louis Prima. When I started to fall in love with Justin Timberlake, my dad definitely let me know that he had a stink about it. He was like, "It sounds so tinny." It wasn't his style. So I would either lower it or I wouldn't listen to it around him. Then, of course, I was a teenager, so I'd stand up for myself and I'd be like, "You've got to get with the times, Dad." [Laughs] But I think he's simmered down now to the grandfatherly ways of being like, "Oh, I'm going to see what the kids are interested in …" Poke his head in.
It just makes me smile because my dad has become the ultimate grandfather, sitting there with a pipe—although, it's not a pipe, it's a cigarette. As told to Stephen Mooallem.
