  1. George: "Man With The Banjo" - Wow! Just finished reading it earlier this week. Fabulous story of intrigue and suspense and an interesting review of the "Banjo King's" career through the decade of the 1930's. Besides your other skills and talents, you're a marvellous writer to boot. I hope you do more of it!

    1. Thank you, Johnny, for your kind words. The story has been in the back of my mind for some time...and it finally nudged me to start writing. I knew that being commissioned a naval officer was certainly a, if not the high point in his life...and I always sensed that there was more to it, but I never had the opportunity to quiz him...not that he would have answered me, but it did cross my mind a time or two.
      I'm glad you enjoyed the read, Johnny. Take care, and thanks again for your generous comments.
      Sincerely,
      GeoP

    2. I have a ukulele with Eddie Peabody"s signature. It is an old Mossman ukulele from the 20's maybe. Email me at ricks@wave.hicv.net

      Aloha, Rick

  2. Hello U. George,

    This is Wendell, one of John Krohn's sons. I just finished your book and loved it. What a great story. I'd heard tiny little bits my whole life, but never the whole story. I'd like to buy a couple copies of the book for my folks and was wondering if you'd sign them? If so, send me an email at wkrohn@gmail.com and we can work out the details.

    Thanks for the great read!

  3. Hello. First sorry for my english... I' ve just bought an Orpheum on e-bay: it's a Super Orpheum #1: the number is: 15975. Have you got an idea of the date it was made? And what do you mean of the signature of Eddie Peabody? Could it be authentic? It looks really like Eddies signature (there are some examples on the web...). Thanks for your answer
