stevethesqueeze OBIT: Jimmy Shand - RIP (26) RE: OBIT: Jimmy Shand - RIP 09 Jan 04

as a squeezebox player two figures stand out to me as heroes. One is John Kirkpatrick and of course the great Jimmy Shand.

Back home in manchester they used to say the best way to torture a Scotsman was to nail his feet to the floor and play a Jimmy Shand record!

Jimmy I beileve helped save the Melodeon from extinction and has really contributed to music in these islands and beyond. I have amongst my small collection of melodeons and have one big Hohner Club4 which I always say reminds me of himself. Jimmy was also a very keen motorcyclist and had many british classics and I have a photo of him on a Norton.

He will be organising a dance up in heaven "come on St Peter pick yer feet up!!".
