Re: Music Master.49 to 54.

The engine wasn't Sir Nigel Gresley, was it?

I think his name was Marshall, do not know his first name. I remember he was very tall and played the piano beautifully.

I was in the school orchestra and Marshall was a breath of fresh air and quite innovative. For the school concert he composed a version of Old King cole and augmented the orchestra with extras including some boys who were scouts as drummers. It was a lot of fun.Paul Greenwood followed and he was excellent but in a different way.
I believe the railway engine mentioned would be Andrew K McCosh,named after a director of LNER.

I only ever encountered Paul Greenwood from 1953 onwards. Unless memory has completely gone. With hindsight. I should have pretended tone deafness allowing reading.
