Sheet music (framed) on my wall as I post!

51 years ago I had my "coonskin" cap and my toy flintlock and was the hero of Weald Park near my home in Brentwood, Essex!

Never kilt a bar yet!

I've got two "coonskin caps," made from rabbit fur, I think. They're fun, but hot as hades in warm weather. There's another racoon product popular with men folk from the Mississippe River delta country - used as a toothpick.

I still have my official Davy Crockett handkerchief which I got as a present back in the fifties, don't blow my nose in it though.
