Was Rhet Stoller not the composer of the well-known theme tune to "Match of the Day" on TV - he must be doing quite well with all those royalties over the years!

The current MOTD sig tune was written by Barry Stoller. He was commissioned to come up with something that would “fit”. Safe to say he did!
I don’t know of any connection between Barry and Rhet. Some say they are one and the same. Others say not. I can’t find any definitive, reliable evidence. Unless one of our forum experts knows him/them?!

Sadly, Roger died in 2008, so those of you who own a copy of the 2007 Convention DVD have perhaps the last video of Roger before his death.

I have a book with fantasy paintings by Roger Dean ("VIEWS", 1975), who also painted the covers of some YES-Albums. Is this the same person?

Excellent played version of Chattanooga, although there was a "different" chord: G# major instead of E diminished (in the Shadows' original at 1:46).

Rhet Stoller and Barry Stoller are indeed one and the same person, but Roger Dean of the Nu-Notes was not the Roger Dean who designed all those album sleeves. He did, however, play lead guitar on the first John Mayall album as one of the early Bluesbreakers before Eric C.

Thanks Alan, that personal knowledge is what I lacked!

Biographical information on Barry 'Rhet' Stoller has always been somewhat scarce although, according to Discogs, he has used various aliases over the years...

https://www.discogs.com/artist/289276-Barry-Stoller

The indicated birth year of 1945 is mostly likely erroneous unless he was only 15 when recording Walk Don't Run in 1960 !

That's correct - I have a copy of Russ Sainty's book "King of the 'Cali'" in which he refers to Barry Stoller using the name Rhet. When Russ Sainty started performing in the early 1960s, he was billed as Russ Sainty and the Rhet Stoller Group. With subsequent changes of personnel, the group became known as the Nu-Notes.
