Hi Me again Well, since I last posted my brother had an exciting visit the other day from Tim Walker of the Sadie Green Sales Ragtime Jugband who my Dad used to visit and play with in Pennsylvannia in the late 80s - and who was responsible for my Dad being in America in the first place on the times you've mentioned. He happened to be in England visiting relatives and decided to pop in on my brother at my mum's home in Reading (and I went home the following day, and just missed him!). He gave my brother a video of my Dad playing in the Idlewood Inn back in 1986, and the video also has footage of my Dad explaining how he played the bones - in a kind of 'Learn to play the bones with this video' format. Pretty sure this is the only video of my Dad in existence so it's great to have a copy. Oh yes the other thing - my Dad didn't play the spoons. But glad to hear Steve is developing a canteen of percussion instruments! Bye Louisa
