...Fine research as usual and an interesting post! <br /><br />Looks like the poet's name might be "Harikian Homespun". It may have been a joke as I can find no trace of a surname "Homespun" from that century and although there really is a given name "Harikian" it is very obscure.<br /><br />Perhaps someone with a good knowledge of handwriting can shed some light on it. I may have it all wrong.anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-38437115119001901662014-06-21T12:24:36.793-04:002014-06-21T12:24:36.793-04:00I, myself, cannot imagine a life without music bei...I, myself, cannot imagine a life without music being a great part of it, so I imagine Ralph's life must have been a very full & happy one.

I've always felt that artists, with the brush all the way to a cello are made up of people with deep passions, for their art and it shows for all of us to appreciate. Lovely post again, thanks.21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-92120306062553184282014-06-20T20:15:50.055-04:002014-06-20T20:15:50.055-04:00Once again, a great story.
