I was re-reading the story of 'JJF' about 'Jumpin'Jack Dyer, Keith's gardener at the time. Did a little search and came across this. I don't think I ever saw this before and find it a bit interesting...hope you do as well.

In the early 1970s there was a major fire at the property and afterwards a number of salvaged items were left scattered on the lawn. The vendor was on hand with his father, Jack Dyer, the estate's gardener, to help with the clear-up. As a thank you, Keith gave this award to the vendor who was a young boy at the time. The s
scorched plinth is a testament to the survival of the award in the fire.

Off course that's a nice gesture by Keith, but what would be nice to know is why, on what basis, Keith received that BRAVO award? Surviving fan attacks?

Another (beautiful) item with similar provenance :

NO prove what so ever but have always wondered if this might be Mr Jack Dyer ....

Bravo was the biggest teen mag in Germany.
Every years the readers voted for 3 best bands, actors, etc.
Winners got the Bravo "Otto" which were these Indian figures. It was a big thing in the 60s.

Stones were second after Beatles.There are pics of Brian holding his "Otto".

Thanks CousinC!

A moat! Keith has a moat. Dang!

There was also that German album with the Bravo tie in.

Yes, that was my very first album.

A nice compilation following their first German tour in 65 - which was promoted by Bravo as well.

I have often wondered the same. Those trees, though, have grown quite well. They now provide nice 'cover' to his driveway.
