Yep Rolf was excellent, but it was even better actually being there.

Did anyone else have a Rolf Harris xylophone when they were kids?

For ardent fans Rolfs official website is http://www.rolfharris.com where he can be found with artwork and wobble board.

Yes I think your right Loopy, I was young at the time, I remember it was a white plastic casing and had a metal rod that you ran across the 'keys'. It used to drive my parents mad, I don't think it sounded too good, I do recall it was taken off me and put on top of the cupboard.

Not sure I ever got it back

I was wondering how to break it to you that he died recently, but then remembered it was Robert Palmer. All that 80s music sounds the same!

Hi Jirrupin,

Yes I had a stylophone! Didn't they try to reincarnate those things a while back? I used to drive my parents mad too. The only tune I can remember learning on it was Amazing Grace.
