I understand that fella was @Kurt.

I also understand he's a world leading expert in tanks used in ww2 by the Russians and has written many books on the subject. But doesn't like to talk about it.

Well he should. No problem with showing what he has done. Unless he wants to retain anonymity, which is perfectly understandable.

At the age of 75, I have no problem with people knowing me and my back story. Both my gigging history from 1969 to 2022, and the research and writing. And my starting on the Gwladys Street from around 1958 with my dad.

I think it's less anonymity and to do with poor reviews and sales. One might say the books tanked.
 
On the BBC 'gossip' football site today:
'...Real Madrid have ended their interest in Liverpool's France centre-back Ibrahima Konate, 26, who is out of contract at the end of the season...' Finally realised the guy is a donkey. Dodged one there...

Also on there today:
'...Liverpool remain committed to hanging on to Konate but only if the terms of a new deal are in line with the club's wage structure...' Please, please, please, keep this useless tool in your defence...

If you were, then all I can say is that a comedian has the toughest job of all. Been on with many comedians over the decades: Ken Dodd; Stan Boardman; Tom O'Connor; George Roper; Dustin Gee; Les Dennis; Joe Longthorne; Norman Collier (he was the best). Hardest job of all to get up on stage alone and entertain a crowd. One Xmas eve we were on the 'Ball o' Ditton' in Widnes with a comedian. When he was on, the crowd took no notice of him. He was decent, but he was just ignored, the crowd just chatting. We were in the changing room getting ready to go on after him, and to work out the song sequence. He just said to the crowd, in so many words: 'I'm off home back to my wife and kids for the night, you lot carry on', and he walked off stage. The concert sec pleaded with him to go back on in the changing room, but he basically told him to f off, and he wasn't interested in any fee. When a comedian dies on stage, he dies alone; a band dies together...

The Ball, there's a blast from (part of) my past.
I've seen similar happen at a Zingari Alliance end of season do in the mid 80s
