Even though I've been on this website for almost a year, I'm still trying to figure out how it works. I just noticed your request. Looking forward to seeing Mr. Ayers.

At 9:25pm on February 26, 2013, Mark Weems said…: Okay Tim, but I want to do something on my gourd as well.

And the guy I was trying to recall with a New Orleans mulatto background was Picayune Butler. There are probably archived arguments about him here somewhere, between (mainly) me and Carl Anderton. We do that from time to time, keeps us young at heart.

She's not there anymore, though. I think you mean Mr. Tedrow's place, you bet--he's still driving that 1933 Ford too. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bob-Tedrows-Homewood-MusicTedrow-Concertinas/78954626217

Thanks.
