Foot Pumping Fiends
By Bryan Cather

All I can say is an enthusiastic "Amen" to John Phillips comments about
pumpers.    They truly ARE a serious musical instrument.  That's why I
CRINGE to hear a badly repaired pumper in a public place with some
hapless soul plowing through a roll.  This gives the wrong impression
that pumpers are just amusing noisemakers.  Bravo, John
