Bill,

Woody is the obvious one, I only wondered if you had heard difinitively. Some place I have a photo of Mac McClintock playing an accordion, perhaps it is meant to be him. Substitute rockets for steamers and the distressed seamans act and this story could be based in some very earthly fact. Yes its "Noisy" Rhysling, I reread the very story last nite. I think all Heinlein's musician types were Accordion players, even Lazarous Long. Perhaps Heinlein was himself. But thats a different thread in a different forum.

Regards

Don
