Census UK Francis Rattenbury Francis Rattenbury (known to his friends as "Ratz") was an architect who helped shape the landscape of Victoria and Western Canada. Rattenbury was married for 25 years and had two grown children but, the same year, he met and fell in love with a young woman named Alma Packenham. Rattenbury and Alma were married, but Victoria turned its back on the couple and, in 1929, Rattenbury moved Alma and their infant son, John, to England. www.censusuk.co.uk /rattenbury.htm

yesterday_architects_rattenbury Francis Mawson Rattenbury was a fascinating individual, who played a prominent role in both Victoria's architectural growth and social circles. Greatly influenced by Lockwood's designs in particular, Rattenbury would claim to have trained closely with the architect, choosing to ignore the fact that Lockwood was actually ending his career when Rattenbury was just a child.

Ubcpress.ca :: University of British Columbia Press Richly illustrated with over 200 drawings and photographs, Francis Rattenbury and British Columbia is the first major critical study of a Canadian architect in the context of his times. While his life was marred by controversy, scandal and, in the end, tragedy, Rattenbury's architecture had an enduring impact on the Canadian landscape and his commercial ventures were important to the economic development of the West.

BASS PLAYER ONLINE: Artists J.B. Blues," along with several other Blanton-era Ellington works, check out Ken Rattenbury's book Duke Ellington, Jazz Composer [Yale University Press]. His revolutionary ability to imply a steady beat without merely thumping on one and three provided the model—and the inspiration—for all jazz bassists who followed to continue expanding the heretofore-limited role of the instrument. The fine and subtle art of country bass undoubtedly reached some kind of apex with these classic early-'60s recordings. archive.bassplayer.com /artists/essent.shtml
