At the age of 15 and 16 he was entrusted with secret nihm;uduru, locating mines scattered ‘in the River Humber to the North Sea. On the way back from picking up these charts, Appleyard couldn‘t help stopping at a local music shop where he‘d listen to his favorites of the day. Not realizing the importance of these charts, he‘d casually place them on a counter top and bop to the big bands like the Benny Goodman sextet." All of this listening led him to join the Boy‘s Brigade, a young man‘s youth club, which hapâ€" pened to have a marching band. Although he began playing the bugle, he eventually settled on the drums which slid him even deeper into the world of jazz. About a year later, he was conâ€" vinced by an exâ€"RAF officer to audition for a big band and after getting the job, found himself touring throughout Britain. The (band‘s) former drummer‘s wife heard about him having some kind of affair with one of the chorus girls and literally took a fire axe and chopped up his drums," Appleyard chuckled. "Actually, what I was doing was just playing the vibes like I would the drums," he said, breakâ€" ing away to demonstrate on a vibraphone set in his livingroom. "And she said ‘oh, that sounds great!‘ This was the first band to appear on British television in 1945. At about the same time, while he was playing at an airforâ€" ce camp, he picked up his drum sticks and started fooling around with a vibraphone. A dancer, watching Appleyard‘s progress, convinced hitmâ€"to pursue playing the instrument. whigch was heading for Bermuda. He continues to surround himâ€" self with the things he loves â€" he has a marimba in his bedroom â€" and he hasn‘t forgotten what it‘s like to boost a soldier‘s morale with music. He still makes visits to army bases in Europe and has completed three tours of Cyprus and the Gaza strip. His drive and energy, which he nurtures with exercise and proper diet, is put to good use at benefits for everything from Young Peoâ€" ples Theatre to countless hospital fundraisers.

"Performing for those soldiers was the greatest thing we could have done. Forget about visiting politicians. "I can‘t help but think what a good ambassador Goodman was (during the war). But then jazz has always been a great ambassaâ€" dor.
