Hi Steve, Bill et al

Steve writes: "A gentleman is someone who owns an accordion but does not 
play it."

An honourable exception is Jack Emblow who not only owns an accordion, 
but is also a truly first-class jazz musician and yet somehow manages to 
be a gentleman too. Jack has now retired from gigs and sold most of his 
gear, but retained a "box" to play at home if he ever gets the urge. One 
of the nicest musicians in the business and much admired by all. The 
last I heard he was still keeping busy playing his remaining box at the 
funerals of colleagues who've gone to the great jam session in the sky.

Cheers,

Ken
