Anglo-Irishman Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Interesting! I wonder if he's any relation to the Bill Badger who was (and, I believe, still is) Rupert Bear's best friend. He was a friend of mine, and of my children's, and now my grandchildren have got to know him, too. However, I've never seen Rupert's Bill Badger make music of any kind.

Alex West Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 There's clearly a relationship between badgers and concertinas. This book cover came up in a Zoom quiz at the weekend Alex West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Franch Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 You can tell the vintage concertinas that badgers played, they're the ones with the scratches around the buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglo-Irishman Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I liked the badger with the banjo. Sort of gives meaning to the term "Clawhammer!" Cheers, John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not very clear, but the last name looks like Baker, and the first name might be Lillian. I cannot identify the middle name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed heartily at this and clicked the "Haha” button before I realized that you were referring to a post of mine in this thread from 14 years ago that I don’t even remember!
