Subject: Obit: Jack Richardson From: GUEST Date: 18 Dec 13 - 06:42 AM Jack Richarson, virtuoso melodeon player and formerly of Mansfield Morris, died early this morning 18/11/13. Whilst he will be sadly missed he will not be forgotten and our thoughts go out to his family at this time He was always so enthusiastic about his music and loved to share it with others. Special memory of him will be for the many hours he spent throughout the 2009/10 winter playing for the Edwinstowe cub-scouts as we taught them "The Morris" for their debut on May Day at Sherwood Forest. The event went out live on BBC Breakfast TV at 7am - the temperature that morning was 2'C. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Jack Richardson From: mouldy Date: 18 Dec 13 - 11:51 AM Jack was musician for our NW Morris side, Penford's Mill, as well, (his daughter Sarah danced with us too) and he later encouraged my tentative efforts on the "squeezy handbag". Yes, he loved to encourage other musicians, and was just such a lovely warm person to be around. I hope he's teaching the angels how to use push-pull instruments! Andrea |
