BBC Radio 1

The theme tune for his 7pm Sunday night show was "Struttin'" by Doctor Strut.

A brilliant show - he'd always read out the serial numbers to the records he played so you could go out and buy them.

born / raised?

What does this mean:

"Alexis Korner was born in Paris to an Austrian father and Greek mother, and North Africa." 193.254.183.242 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:13, 10 March 2009 (UTC).

It means the article was badly edited, now corrected. --Richhoncho (talk) 20:35, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Not suprising that editors always seem to forget writing anything about Turkish ancestry though. Not to worry, I have added it in with referenes.Turco85 (Talk) 09:54, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Father's profession

Korner's father was a cavalry officer with the Army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:4905:A135:35E3:582C:7D40:A33 (talk) 09:09, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Instruments/Notable Instruments

The infobox for Alexis should include electric, acoustic guitars, Dobro and tiple. As for "Notable Instruments", although he used a variety of brands and models, including Fender (Tele and Strat) Martin, Levin, Gibson (including Les Paul) and of course Dobro, his main ones were Guild F-30 acoustic, Gibson ES-295 electric and Martin Tiple. I've amended the infobox accordingly, with a source. Twistlethrop (talk) 06:37, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
