Mommas got a squeeze box, HaHa, I ain’t goin there!
This is begging for a Mike Rowe intervention.
Training a 93 yo assistant to take over the business when he retires?? Bad plan.
These kind of guys are dying off.Just try to find a guy that
repairs old clocks.I restore old vacuum tube radios and this
guy is close to my heart……
I’ve rebuilt/repaired a concertina a few times. The innards were somewhat like popsicle sticks and toilet paper. I appreciate his apparent skill and patience.
Seriously,
No, the 88yo isn’t training the 93yo. They’ve been working together for about 60 years.
