Thank (deity-of-your-choice) someone is promoting tuneful Ragtime.

All this modern Jazz nonsense sounds like somebody dropping a piano down some stairs.

Pity me... I have to share a studio with a fan of Keith Jarrett. And it's HIS hi-fi.

You're more than welcome dear boy - I _coul_ point you in the direction of the house band's albums, but as we can't advertise on here, mail me for details smiley - winkeye

Recently we've had Will Gaines (tap dancer) Ricky Woodard (Sax) Scott Hamilton (Sax)...names such as these (even Slim Gaillard when he was still with us - in my local!!!!!!!!!!)
