"4Keep happy, those who wish to sing can always find a song, " says Squelch in the president's message of the January edition of Strings, the club newsletter' Meanwhile Hub- bleday, who learned to play the. spoons and harmonica from his father in his native Britain, has been sum- moned for a session. He regrets that he doesn't have the 130-year-old ivory spoons he usually brings along. Fifty years ago he was third out 1,500 com- petitors in a harmonica- playing contest. Today, he relishes his role as in- termission performer during the Whitby seniors Jubilee choir concerts. He 'adinits, when it comes right down 10 it, that he prefers.country and western to bluegrass. But at the' pickin' sessions, where the camaraderie can't be beat, there's always the chance he'1l learn more about the five-string banjo.
