My memories of Joe Daniels.

I remember meeting Joe at a family wedding in Portland in Dorset, England. In his suit and trilby hat, it was like being with the leader of the Welsh Mafia. I remember going to see Joe and his wife, Molly, at their home in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales, with my father,  Brian Morris. The house was on the main road, on a very sharp bend, going through Merthyr and at the back of it, there was a sharp drop to the River Taff below. Molly stayed at home, and Joe, my dad, and I walked to a bar a short walk up the road for a pint before my dad and I continued on our tour around Southern Wales.
