Hi Patrick,

Would you have any biographic details about Ratez. I have a couple of kids doing 7th Grade bass exams and we can't find anything in the usual sources. Many thanks in anticipation.

Sorry to say, I have no information. Keep searching the Internet. You might also inquire with some of the "older" bass teachers out there, like Murray Grodner, Lucas Drew, etc.
Best!

Hello David,
Ed here... have you looked at:

http://grandemusica.net/musical-biographies-r/ratez-emile-pierre.html

not a bad site when it comes to biographies.

All the best, Ed


PS: I promise I will drop off these manuscripts soon, I am having a hard time with our photocopier...
