[F.F. Teague]

Hi Martin,

I'm on my way to Evening Soup, but I'll just answer this quickly. Ghost of George thanks you for recognising his knowledge in the field of carrots. But he adds that he knows very little about other vegetables. (He was particularly keen on carrots during his short life.)

Yes, for a while Dad kept his exotic instruments on a tray on top of the upright piano. Sometimes, when he played the piano with particular enthusiasm, the exotic instruments would shake and emit strange twangs by way of accompaniment. That was fun to observe. What a sweet story about getting Arab drums for free.

That's great news that you won the contest! I had a feeling you'd win the week.

Best wishes,
Fliss
