No, NOT one of my typos, the title refers to the third Thursday in the month sessions at 21 South Street, Reading. I seem to have dropped off the Reading Arts mailing list and only picked up on these sessions again through monitoring Sonny Black's gigs (QV). 18th Feb US fingerstyle guitarist Duck Baker now a local resident, and
18th March Ragtime Jug Orchestra:"Audience participation is always encouraged- bring a kazoo,jug or shaker and join in". (Is it significant they don't mention washboards?
