<p>Hi Marek,</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. I do know a Roger Craik: he's an Edinburgh
drummer, but I haven't heard of him playing for some time, so he
may have retired from gigging.</p>
<p>I hope all's well with you,</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Ken<br>

Correction: Craik, not Clark wrote IAJRC article<br>
<br>
Sadly, IAJRC is disbanding, but I was pleased to get an
issue if the IAJRC Journal in the the mail today and to
learn that a final one will be published this spring. The
present one is dated Fall 2017. It has a three page article
titled "Swinging Scots: An Outline of Jazz in Scotland" by
Roger Clark. Those of you who get Syncopated Times know that
it also gives some coverage beyond jazz in the USA, thanks
to the vision and catholicity of its editor, Andy Senior,
and fine writers like Joe Bebco. <br>
Like many in this country, I followed the British trad
movement in the 40s and early 50s but mostly lost track of
what's happening abroad, other than hearings of particular
artists and bands on YouTube. Too much happening, even here,
to "keep up" with. But I appreciate what I hear from
you-all, listmates.<br>
