T:
There is nothing like music for unwinding
S:
Ten minutes at the organ would remove all the stresses of the day. WM learned to play the melodeon from playing the moothie. He cannot read music, but their son would not play without it. WM can get a tune out of anything except the trumpet. The melodeon is chromatic, so you have to push-pull in different orders, depending on the key. He has trouble with C, F is no trouble. Jean was going to get a piano when she was twelve, but she did not get high enough marks on her exam.

[Looking at diagram of melodeon keyboard.] Allan Morrison wrote out this diagram. They worked in the forestry together. He is a natural who has learned all by himself. WM hates electronically backed music. Rod Stewart's voice is gravely like that. [End of Interview.]
