BJ was voted Best Drummer in the Playboy Music Polls of the early '70s

BJ always had an incredible feel for the dynamics of a song

Bobby Harrison showed musical talent early – starting at the age of six

A Bobby Harrison quotation:  “I left Procol Harum because of the lifestyle in the rock business.  There were a lot of Mafia-type agents round in the '60s and '70s”

Alan Cartwright was a member of Procol Harum from 1971–1976
