Ahh yes - Jack, Larry & Milky Keith - the original Odds & Sods! I played with Jack in the final days of Odds & Sods. In fact we played for a ceilidh just about a month before he died and he played well. I also hope his melodeons find good homes.

I hope they get a good home. I played with Jack, together with Larry and Milky Keith many a night. There was a time when my guitars were always tuned to his melodeons.

Sorry, I didn't identify myself. Yes, Jack was the old gentleman who played melodeon at Mansfield Folk Club.

Many of you may remember old Jack Richardson from Mansfield. He was a well known melodeon player in that area but also many of you may remember him from Whitby Folk Festival - playing in the Plough and the Plough yard and later in the Middle Earth during numerous folk weeks.

Sadly, Jack died just before Christmas. He had been struggling with ill health for a couple of years but still played his melodeons up until about a fortnight before his death. I know there is an Obit. for him here on Mudcat.

He left behind a number of melodeons which I am selling on behalf of his widow, Betty. I have described them here:

on Melodeon.net together with photos and prices. If anyone is interested in buying one, please pm me from the Melodeon.net site.

Thank you
