McQuade: My late wife often said I had the most beautiful organ. I have decided everyone is just jealous of the fact that we play the most beautiful instrument on earth.

Or do you suffer with gall stones?Īdams: Why Strachie sweetie, please wipe the fog off those glasses and you will see the word is 'flutist', not 'flatulist'. I imagine that guarantees you a dressing room all to yourself when performing at concerts and the like. Which funnily enough is exactly what I said halfway through the Second World War.

Not that I need an excuse to feature fellow Philosopher's Stone band member Julie Adams on 'Dead Man Talking' - but having the Presidential election this week seemed the ideal opportunity to introduce my favourite East Tennessee musician to Strachan McQuade.
