"Ian,
I worked in an office in London during the first half of the seventies and rode about the place every lunchtime on a bike we kept at the office - without a padlock. The bike was basic, sure, but in 4 years of being an easy target, it was…"
" I added the videos to our player and ..... I love it.
Hey Tony, 1970s... No bike thefts in the 1970s? By that time I had a 1965 Mini van love mobile, and nobody would have wanted to steal that either !

"Did anyone check the BMG magazine for any info on this?
I have not watched the new footage yet (will check it out at lunch time) but I would like to add one point about the guitar's popularity... Segovia.

"Brett,

Thanks for sharing these!"
"Hello Joel,
The music is all here on this site in the music library. I tried to create links to each individual piece, but can't work out how or if it is possible to do so. Sorry for any inconvenience. If it is easier for you,…"

Do you have a link to the scores for download?"
Music for the Library

I have begun scanning it and a few things are now added to the library.History - if you're interested. The folio was donated in South Canterbury last year with a lot of other non banjo related music.
