This weekend while spending some time with my family in the beautiful San Juan Islands I found out that I had a great Uncle who was quite the multi-instrumentalist. However, like me, he had a special affinity for the banjo, and all this time I thought I was the only one! In fact, since most American med schools were apparently quite anti-Semitic at the time, he went back and forth to Scotland to get his degree. As it was told to me, he earned money for school by playing in string bands on the cruise ships! My Grandfather made me drool by telling me about his office in his home adorned with banjos everywhere, walls, ceiling, etc... btw, I was delighted to hear a few songs from "Sugar on the Floor" who were performing in Friday Harbor yesterday. Thank you very much! delightful, I wish I could have stayed longer but da boat was leavin. next time!
