Quote from Rowan "Mudcat's Squeezeme also plays one..."

My apologies, Squeezemee! But you're spot on with Ralph Pride; I now recall his name. And Bob Bolton has frequently commented on his origins with MacCann Duet; he even went to great lengths to correct our various spellings of MacCann that have cropped up. Trouble is, I can never remember the correct one.

I recommend you listen to Barb, the next time you're at Nariel; I'm pretty sure it's a MacCann she plays. On top of that, I should be keel hauled for forgetting the fact that, when my brother got interested in concertina (after seeing me get into the Anglo) he decided he wanted one; the first I saw available was a Lachenal MacCann system Duet so I bought it and gave it to him for his birthday. I think the first tune he played on it, despite being in Smith's Gully (a bush band where he did what I was doing with Flying Pieman), was "Misty". He later replaced it with a Crabb and also acquired another Lachenal but I think he's passed at least one of them to his son, for use in a rock band.

Cheers, Rowan
