"Does anyone (else) remember a 1950s LP series called "Pardon My Blooper"?   Misspoken gems from radio and TV were  reproduced in the grooves. One of them was " And now... Eddie Playbody will pee for you".   "

"Hi Nathanael, Tell me the width of the nut and if it is the same, or close to that on my Apollo N°1, I'll send you the measurements and maybe you could cut some slots and get a better spacing. Ian."

The Glad Rag.Ragtime Essence..1910..Richard grant O'Grady

This is another fine rag by O'Grady and I would put it in the same league as The Smiler or Smoky Mokes. I've made quite a few alterations to parts of the trio to make it easier to play on the banjo...Steve.…See More
