Tradman Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It's been quite a while since I posted a video with concertina. Here's a fine amusing old song with oom-pah accompaniment: https://youtu.be/OjocrYugDrU Enjoy, Mark Gilston https://www.markgilston.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I did enjoy it. In Britain, the chorus words are that's the song of the Salvation Army, but the sentiment is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradman Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) I've been doing a "Folklore Series" of songs I learned from oral tradition in my childhood. Most of them I sing unaccompanied as I learned them, but some of them I've incorporated into my performances, and those I accompany with dulcimer, guitar or concertina. Here is Lather and Shave, a song I've performed with concertina since the mid 1970's, If you want to skip the intro and get right to the song, it begins at 45 seconds into the video. https://youtu.be/weXBNWN59A8 Enjoy, Mark Gilston Edited October 23, 2017 by Tradman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradman Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) Here's another song I learned a long time ago. It's a fine old ballad from the Adirondack Mountains of New York. https://youtu.be/MCPBNxTX2Y8 Enjoy, Mark Gilston Edited January 8, 2018 by Tradman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hi Mark, I missed this in the first place as I simply wasn't "here" at that time... These videos are much enjoyed, lively and witty, and I find the "oom-pah" labeling re the waltz song a bit of an understatement, simply love your turning the accompaniment into this parallel harmony thing from time to time... You might check the link in the latest post as it's pointing to "Lather and Shave" once again for me. Keep up the good work!
