 Alabama Concertina maker kicks the bucket.

Sad News this weekend.  Would be dancer and concertina maker, Bob Tedrow, suddenly kicks the bucket while dancing with wife in New Orlean's Jackson Square.

The sad event, caught on tape and posted to YouTube by Bob's son Travis shows the elder Tedrow throwing himself between his wife, Klari and an oncoming Sousaphone.

Bob's remains were quickly transported to a variety of New Orleans eateries and drinkeries where the celebration of son Travis' recent engagement to the always lovely Megan Sweeney continued unabated.

Said Travis, "This is the way Bob would have wanted it, and  besides, we still had bed and breakfast reservations in the Garden District at the Sully Mansion."  

Tedrow's body was flown back to Alabama accompanied by his first wife, Klari who was heard to comment " With plenty of fresh air, we are hoping to put off the burial for twenty years or so.  I will be taking Bob to yoga class once a week to keep his joints limber."

 That's what she said.

Mr. Tedrow is survived by his immediate family and several unborn grandchildren whose names are withheld by their parents.
