Talking about his wife's grandfather, 'Whistler' Harmer:

Used to play a tin whistle . . . a long brass tin whistle, what he used to play. . . He had the old dulcimer . . . Used to take that down the pub. He played the dulcimer, yeah, but he wasn't taught. He told me he used to play in the Brass Band at Stalham, when he was a young chap. Course, he had a lot of old brass instruments when he died; they were all buried on his field, I think. He's a queer old boy . . . always in the pub. One yarn he told me, when he was a young chap he used to go poachin'; y'know, an old poacher. And he had this little button-keyed accordion and, you see, if you pull the four studs out, he say, "I used to go down the pub and had cotton wool in all my pockets. Used to go down the pub and have a tune-up," and when he was coming back he used to find out where the pheasants' and partridges' nests were. Then he used to put the cotton wool in the accordion and put the eggs all in there and that used to sort of hide 'em.'
