What Have I Done . . .


RustyBits

Recommended Posts

About 3 years ago I sold my concertina :wacko: BIG MISTAKE! I had a Norman G/D. #504 to be exact. Had purchased it second hand here. Now I have time, my Morris side needs a musician and my hands are lonely!

 

So, I am looking for a G/D concertina. One with accordion reeds, in the not-astronomical price range. Jeffries layout would be a plus.

 

Any leads will win you points in Concertina Heaven!

I got it from Agnes
She got it from Jim
We all agree it must have been
Louise who gave it to him

Now she got it from Harry
Who got it from Marie
And ev'rybody knows that Marie
Got it from me...

 

I started listening to Tom Lehrer when I was but a mere stripling, and it took me a long time to work out what this song was about.

It's about concertinas, isn't it? I was reminded of the same song by this thread.

 

How awesome!! I have sent you a message, Bill. I am Rusty Bits : ) Changed from Lisa W when I got married and Became Lisa N. Since I will be 50 soon I feel Rusty Bits a VERY appropriate name. I'm all creaks and groans!

 

Glad it worked out!

My favorite Tom Lehrer line is when he sang (in 1964!):

 

Hollywood's often tried to mix

Show Business with Politics

From Helen Gahagan

To... Ronald Reagan???
