Subject: Whatever happened to John James From: GUEST,Rag Date: 14 Mar 03 - 08:23 AM Does anyone know what the wonderful Welsh ragtime guitarist John James is doing these days? In the 70s, we were all trying to play his arrangements of Black and White Rag, Orange Blossom Special, Pickles and Peppers, etc. Haven't heard anything of him in a long while. |
