Subject: RE: Banjo Stolen in London on Saturday!
Hope the true owner gets it back sonn, and the thief his/her just desserts.
In my time I have had two Jim Jones taborer's pipes.
Both were birthday presents.
Both were stolen, one at Letterkenny FF in 1977, one at a Liverpool festival in 1984, when I was then dancing with Southport Swords.
I wouldn't mind, but when Jim sent me the pipes on receipt of my payment, he advised me to make a little cloth 'case', so that when not playing the pipe it could go into the 'case' around my neck, for safety.
Nah, I thought - no 'folkie' would ever rip another folkie off . . .
