I remember back in the summer of 1973 my folks and I spent the month of July traveling around the state of California. We spent a week in San Francisco, and saw an excellent revival of the musical "Oliver." Some well-known theatrical names were in the cast, including (in his US stage debut) Ron Moody as Fagin, a role he had created years before in London (as well as in the movie version). As great as he was, the other treat was seeing Davy Jones singing and dancing as the Artful Dodger. Of course, all the women in the audience just loved him - he was excellent, as was the entire cast. Somewhere, in my files, I still have the program book from the show.

I'm still shocked and quite saddened by his death.
