"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."
"I am sorry for the loss of your friend Marc. I enjoyed the videos of you playing with Eric and his wife, Patricia. They were an inspiration when I was discovering classic-style banjo pieces. I also remember marvelling at his…"
"Yes, Eric was also a practitioner of Japanese calligraphy. He made lutes as well as banjos, and earlier in his life he built pipe organs. In making banjo necks he made his own varnish using fruit alcohol from trees growing right outside…"

I don't have much to add other than it was clear he…"

- Hey, thanks! I like your version of the Morley too; I'll have to incorporate the octaves on the walkdown of the "D" section--sounds great. I'm doing my best to approximate William Ball's performance on that tune; have you heard it?
Best
Dan

- Marc, is mandolin-banjo from the same period as classic banjo? I thought it post-dated it. If so, can I use nylguts on a mandolin banjo? It sure would be great to get that rubbery sound.
My mandolin-banjo is a 1915 instrument, btw.

- Marc,
Just thought I would give my greetings. Thanks for sending the link to the
Banjoree photos. I hope you still get to play although Eric and Pat have left
your area.

- Hi Marc - I could not help but note that you were aware my father (Tom Barriball) played a "Clifford Essex Regal" banjo. How did you get to know my father? We, the family, have over more recent years lost an awful lot of photos and history in relation to our Father and my Brother in Leicester & I are trying to regain some of what has been lost. Anything you can tell me would be very much appreciated

- Tarry, I am probably better placed to help here as the photo appears on my web site : www.cliffordessex.co.uk. It is a fairly common photo of Tom during his service days.
