Indeed, JM's music was of a sort that was affected adversely by drink. Which made the pain far greater....<BR/><BR/>Dapphers - Indeed I am; 'classically trained' as a violinist up to Grade 8 but then spun off into playing Gypsy swing, Irish, folk, blues, klezmer and kroncong. The fiddle is a great instrument with which to go on 'musical travels'.Gyppo Byardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823690986571629011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753176231132205902.post-65334537783966738642009-02-03T06:11:00.000-08:002009-02-03T06:11:00.000-08:00So you're a fiddler then?So you're a fiddler then?Daphne Wayne-Boughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10581048408996935564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753176231132205902.post-17379922987489860112009-02-02T13:47:00.000-08:002009-02-02T13:47:00.000-08:00"never heard his music....""<I>never</I> heard his music...."Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753176231132205902.post-53886321803385599762009-02-02T00:14:00.000-08:002009-02-02T00:14:00.000-08:00Great memoir.
