ronald frederick geesin -lrb- born 17 december 1943 , in stevenston , ayrshire , scotland -rrb- is a scottish musician and composer , noted for his quirky creations and novel applications of sound .

ron geesin played piano with the downtown syncopators , a dixieland band emulating the ` original dixieland band ' during the 1960s .
the band was based in or near crawley , sussex , uk .
