Piano Players from the 1930s #1133478 09/13/08 11:23 AM

OP lukehudson Junior Member L Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 1 Toronto	So I just found out that my grandmother (who died a while ago) had an affair with a famous piano player in the spring of 1937 in Montreal. I learned this from her sister (who is getting quite old) who can only remember that he was a famous, blond, American piano player who later on in life went on to marry a socialite (she also says she'd remember the name if she heard it). Apparently he was playing concerts at different resorts in Canada at the time. So, I'm wondering if anyone here can think of any piano players from that time who fit some of those descriptions. Thanks.

greghings Junior Member G Joined: Oct 2008 Posts: 1 New Zealand	I'm afraid I can't help Luke with his question but seeing it prompted me to ask this one: does anybody know of a piano player called Eileen Waddington who may have been playing in the Toronto area in the 30s or 40s? Eileen may have been born in Leicester or the English Midlands, and emigrated to Canada when she was in her 20s. Thanks
