Maybe Ghettoraga Archive didn't give the right tribute to the late great PAUL MINNS, one of the best and most influential oboe player of the popular music, but the scarce information circulating about him, his proverbial prudery, the very few interviews he did, his tragic shocking end (22 years ago), was not useful to do the right thing.
Through the years, apart his soulful contributes to a critical view of the TEB's historiography (read here and here), his former wife Mary Haynes gave me two interesting interviews (read here and here), focusing the first steps of his career; but we still have few elements for having a satisfying portrait of the man.
So the only thing I can do is to share with you some rare, never seen pictures from Paul's family album sent to me by Mary, remembering his unique contribution to the wonderful experience of the Third Ear Band.
