Jeez, and here I grumbled about the WCB here in Canada. We have $54.000.00 wage limit that we pay on. I used to own a welding company that serviced the oil and gas field industry in Northern Canada and, without penalty claims, we paid in the neighbourhood of 3.5% of the employee wages. Which worked out to about $1900.00, per employee per year.

Les his name was Whitcomb. Possibly Geroge Sr.
I saw him on video on Ed Sulivan too/

He had so many hamonica wheels, it was easy to believe he was the keeper of the flame. And the artwork patterns matchedthose on the Sulivan show perfectly, though he looked younger.

He played Flight of the Bumblebee with me trying to keep up on the chords.

All I know, is I paid more for my custom made left-handed Martin D-35 when I ordered it in Jan. 1985 then I did for my custom made left-handed Fulawka S-10, 4 and 5, which I ordered in 2001.
