Hi Tarry
What is your relationship to Tom Barriball?

Tom was a legend, and as Rob Murch said, " with a wicked sense of humour ". If you go into the 'Classic Banjo" which is one of the best sites around. http://www.classicbanjo.com/covers/image22.htm There is a Front Cover that I specially designed for one of Tom's better known pieces. Ray

Hello Tarry, yes I knew Tom very well, often making the trip down to Devon for a tune or two. On one occasionI took William J Ball to meet Tom on another trip Alf Brimble came with me. I have some music Tom sent me on a piece of scrap paper, on the reverse is written your name 'Tarrant Barriball'. I often wondered if you were named after Tarrant Bailey. I first met Tom at the home of my banjo teacher, Horace Craddy, who took lessons from Tarrant Bailey Snr. Tom bought Rob Murch up with him on one occasion, we have been friends ever since. I have videos and photos, plus numerous letters from Tom, he was a wonderful inspiration and a true character with a wicked sense of humour.
