"Morley's 'Moonlight Revels' has a movement in E major, Lawes' 'En El Camino' has a movement in Db major if I remember rightly and one of Bill Ball's pieces has a movement in Gb major. "
"A great shock to me, Eric was a wonderful man with great skill and many interests. Thankfully, his magnificent musical instruments will keep his memory alive for hundreds of years to come."
"No doubt Desert Trail is a good solo. I have spent many hours with it but have never got it up to speed clarity where I would play it for anyone. "
"Bernadette and I used to call on Bill whenever we were down that way, I too have his records and CDs and still think that he was the outstanding UK classic banjo player of the 20th century. His playing was fault less and his classical piano training…"
"Back in the 1980s, I had the pleasure of spending a day with Bill Ball at his home in Bristol, he played through most of his repertoire and the stand out tune for me was his rendition of Desert Trail. I have one of his CDs on which it's…"

"Desert Trail #902 is supposed to have an "Oriental" ambience. I can't say I hear it but it's a nice piece, including the weird part which are weird harmonically. It sounds better than it looks. The JAT notation looks dangerous.…"
"So I see, pity as it was in a pretty row of houses c1820 and looked untouched since it was built. but the greed and avarice of the capitalists/property developers, must be satisfied. There was a nice cafe/delicatassen next door where we used to have…"
