Stefan Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I´ve also enjoyed each contribution. Everyone really showed a different side of the song. Starting with Bobs relaxed version where I think I can hear that he knows the song for a long time, also the instrumental is very nice. Then Jim Bessers dancing Morris interpretation which has quite a „soul“ feeling to me. To hear songs from people that play concertina for a long time is always like a good wine or aged whiskey for the ears. Jim Lucas, very enjoyable with a light touch. Darias version really cheers me up. Tona, to me, always sets a new standard by himself, the quality and sound of his playing are outstanding. And then there is Jody of course, a class of his own (my girlfriend just said „Johnny Cash on the concertina“ as she heard the recording). This version could easily be on a CD, it´s flawless. Steve, I would be really curious to hear your version. Maybe you can do one after your folk festival?. The song is really fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Molkentin Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 OK, here's a taste of my Jamaica Farewell. https://soundcloud.com/jodysconcertina/jamaica-farewell I love the TOTM challenge. Without it, I would not have considered this fine song for reasons mentioned above. It was way over played, but that was 50 years ago. Time for a new look. Great version Jody, you really made the song your own! Best wishes - Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
