The following little story recently appeared in a newspaper weekend magazine.
However at the 1999 Pipeline Convention, Bert Weedon told the same amusing story
between a couple of numbers- some other attendees might remember this.
The late Jimmy Shand a well known Scottish Accordionist and band leader, had been working
with Bert in the North and they had been staying at a hotel establishment not exactly known for
serving large portions.
At breakfast Jimmy asked for toast which was accompanied by a small pat of butter and a miniscule
drop of honey in a pot.
Examining the pot in detail , Jimmy looked up to landlady and said " I see you keep A bee then !!!!!
No doubt as a tribute he played a Polka in Bee minor!!!!
