Own Up! Do You Recognise Instruments.


Recommended Posts

There was a visitor to our Thursday night session in Lancaster last night. He spoke with a Canadian accent and his eyes lit up when he saw my concertinas. He looked slightly familiar and said his name was Calvin but it was only when he mentioned that he had a Jeffries that I recognised him as having come to sessions in Somerset when I was starting out on concertina, 23 years ago.

So, apart from this being another of those Folk coincidences that seem to happen so often, do you recognise people by their concertina?

Several times recently I've caught myself thinking "the lady witht the Mayfair" or "the bloke with a Jerries duet", and that has been my main reference in my internal filing system.
