Thanks Sandy.....Glad to have some backup on the story because it does sound odd. I had heard about the bathroom too and I think she mentioned it in a magazine article, but I looked today and couldn't find it. She also had a rack thing that set above the tub at an angle and I thought several times about taking a plywood prototype that I have and mounting it on a sliding rack above the tub....I mean, what a way to practice!!!

Spaw

Texas legend has it that the tune Crocket played during the seige of the Alamo was "Will You Come to the Bower". There were survivors of that battle, women and slaves, so news of what happened inside was known. Sam Houston had his fifer play the tune at the Battle of San Jacinto.

I believe that the fiddler for the Lewis and Clark expedition was York, Lewis' slave.

Take care
