cannon Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I've been away from Internet connections and mobiles for the last few weeks so I'm playing catch up now. Nice choice again this month.

Nice one. What instrument are you playing? Many Thanks. I've played that on my marcus G/D. I know I keep saying this but totm is great .Every tune I've attempted, I've learned something new about playing the concertina. I hope totm continues and a few more start posting!

Pete Dunk Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Thanks, I was beginning to worry because of the lack of postings! I wouldn't worry too much if I were you Jim, you have the balance just right but some tunes attract more responses than others. The reason for that isn't always obvious, Parson's Farewell is a bonnie tune that isn't too difficult to play as written and I'm sure that very few people would be intimidated by it. . .

Geoff Wooff Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Well done Cannon ! It is good that you have broken the silence too, even just to stop Jim from worrying. There are plenty of people who are obviously enjoying the TOTM, even if they are not making a recorded contribution. At any level of playing abilities there are things to learn from trying a new tune. May is a busy time for many people in the Northern Hemisphere, my yesterday's practice time was taken up by a break in the weather which allowed (necessitated) me to Mow the Lawns ... but I am still working on a Duet version....

Thanks For that Geoff. I've found TOTM seems to be improving my concertina playing, but I'm also learning new skills, such as recording and how to not panic when confronted by the " red button of doom".

Yes it's a little on the slow side- it was actually the eighth attempt at recording, by which time the digits were giving up! It'll take me a little while longer to speed up with any semblance of consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaspeter Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hi All,I've been lurking around here for awhile now, but never posted. I love the Tune-of-the-Month idea, though, so much that it dragged me out of the shadows and into the 21st century! I even had to figure out how to post to YouTube! It's a great excuse to try to learn songs (I worked on the last couple of months', but didn't have the nerve to post) and I really want to support it and not let it die. So, here's my contribution: Thanks for a great site and great ideas!Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Łukasz Martynowicz Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Jason, as an Elise player too, I must say, that you've pushed this instrument to it's limits! Great arrangement and great rendition. Edited May 21, 2013 by Łukasz Martynowicz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaspeter Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Thanks for the warm welcome!My concertina is, indeed, an Elise. I have serious coveting issues over the Peacock and the Beaumont, but it does what I need for now!One of the things I really like about these Tunes of the Month is the wide variation in sounds and ideas that everyone has for a given tune. It's an extremely enlightening concept and I certainly benefit from the opportunity to hear them all. I hope participation in TOTM continues to build.

bellowbelle Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'll try to get this at SoundCloud later. Geordie baritone & foot bass. Recorded on cassette tape, then processed... ParsonsFarewellecfb.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Fisher Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've been busy this month and have just had time to catch up with everyone's postings. Lots of variety! I had a little time this morning, so recorded this: http://ubuntuone.com/0c7XDS4rlvjnP7lL9HPycp It's three tracks - one just the dots, one the chords (digitally bumped down and octave), and one on a sopranino recorder (which was just crying out to be included in the fun). My initial attempts at this tune were highly influenced by bellowhead and were quite jaunty. This time I was trying for 'stately'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Geordie baritone & foot bass. Wow, that's special - great Renaissance sounds, nicely applied! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
