Having read the article on Bob Darch, it didn't mention his playing
days at Virginia City, Nevada.  I have some ragtime pieces with his
name and place of the above stamped on the front covers.  Can anyone
tell me in what years he played there?  I estimate the late 1950s to
early 1960s.

I might mention that my last visit there was in June, and Squeek Steel
(along with a banjo player) was playing good ragtime in the "Bucket Of
Blood" saloon!
