Thanks to your blog I noted an accordian sort of sound in the background of several pieces. I immediately thought that you would have known exactly what sort of 'squeezebox' was being played.<br />One of the joys of reading a good blog is the opportunities for gaining snippets of knowledge which enhance the ordinary.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-1187495772789902552011-12-17T22:57:57.516+00:002011-12-17T22:57:57.516+00:00Thank you for your comments.

Tony Hall - once saw him playing wearing a tweed suit and wellington boots, a man who was never much impressed by the limelight. Granny Sue, yes, John Whelan is quite something.

Visually, the one I loved was Tony Hall, with his pipe bouncing up and down and sitting at a messy desk looking like a crazed accountant in tax season. Lucewoman, I hear you are an influential but less well-known squeezer.
