The American Contra Dance piano playing style I really enjoy.The Jody Kruskal recordings introduced me to this special style of playing.
I have seen some wonderful upright and Grand pianos sold at auction for next to nothing , some wonderful makers names like Broadwood (Lucy's Family)seem to be ignored now.
The old pub piano formed part of the Wartime memories ,the old sing songs.Very sad to see it all gradually die away.
