British Miner Beats The Crisis - Edwin Bryan Greenslade, 15, at the piano whilst Ned practices his first-bass for the ***** Glee club. Ned wanted young Ned to start in the pit... ' if held only come and worked with me for a year, say, I could have started some real muscle on him'. Still as a good Father Ned left it to the boy's own choice. Young Ned was uncertain until the offer of a good start at the local Co-operative came along, and he decided to take it. He has the Welsh instinct for music and already plays well. March 4, 1948.
