Hi Linda,

Thanks for that.

I remember Robin's programme on Radio Forth very well.

It's very interesting to learn that he was mainly an "ear player" and I recall one interview he had with an older musician who said that that, in the old days, many of the great players couldn't even read the (news)paper let alone music. As I recall, Robin found this very amusing and so did I, especially as I couldn't read music either at the time although I've taught myself since.

I'm glad to hear that he still "has a tune" as that's what it's really all about. Songs as well for singers, of course.
