Vivienne Dunstan<p>More indexing the many hundreds of newspaper references I found to a travelling German accordion player and tuner in mid/late 19th century Scotland. He's now turned up in my home town Hawick, and I'm seriously distracted by other adverts on the page.

Vivienne Dunstan<p>Spreadsheeting started. 1 row down. 278 to go ... !!! That's 279 newspaper refs (to adverts and reports of his musical performances and concerts) to a travelling German accordion player in Scotland between 1852 and 1903.

Vivienne Dunstan<p>Found lots of newspaper references to young me in the newly digitised 1980s and early 1990s Southern Reporter newspaper issues from the Scottish Borders.
