Mole, it has to be admitted that Alistair has let his Scott Joplin slip a bit. Last time I saw him was in the Royal Oak at Lewes, Sussex, maybe three years ago. I requested him to play "The Strenuous Life" which I first heard him play twenty five years ago. He hummed and hawed a little before demurring. Pity, ragtime on concertina sounds amazing, at least when played by Aly Anderson.
