Jody Kruskal Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Oooh this looks great. Which tutor books uses this tablature system? I think the 1a-10 part is described here http://jodykruskal.com/tune_of_the_month/fly_around_assets/Concertina_tab_explaination.pdf but the layout is a bit different. Yes, the link above is the tab system that I used for awhile, but Gary's system is superior in all regards. I've been using it for a few years now and it is clear, simple and much easier to read.

gtotani Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Thank you Gary, for a nice Christmas songbook. This year, I am uploading my interpretation from your "Christmas Concertina" on YouTube, a tune a day, in the spirit of a good tradition of Advent Calendar, though I am 7 years behind this topic. Are there any other good Christmas songs that became public-domain after the publication of your book? I am curious. Gen Totani 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcoover Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Gen, nicely played! And not just one video, but a playlist of 30. The perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit during a very trying year. Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabio Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Great playing Gtotani! I like how you take your time with each of the songs; makes for very pleasant listening Gary, you're right, everyone can use some of this uplifting music right now. I'm getting this book too, so that I can offer a little bit around here! Edited November 30, 2020 by Nabio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtotani Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Thank you very very much Gary and Nabio for the compliment! No, I did not pick up only 30 out of 50. Remaining 20 tunes coming up! A tune a day. That means, all 50 tunes will be on my YouTube Playlist by December 20th. After that until Christmas, I might go for Bonus track, like "Ashen Fagott Wassail" from "The Anglo Concertina of John Watcham" and others. "Merry Christmas Darling" is a bit challenging. I will have to keep it till Christmas 2021! Totani Edited November 30, 2020 by gtotani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff W. Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Just got my copy in today, one of the few Gary books I apparently didn't have yet Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtotani Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 OK. I have run through all 50 tunes in "Christmas Concertina" by Gary, and my Advent Challenge 2020 is over. Happy Christmas to you all. Totani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtotani Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Merry Christmas to you all. I have revisited Gary's Christmas Concertina book again this year, with a new gear. Harold Herrington's square concertina "Hercules". This year, I have included "Merry Christmas Darling" as well. (only this one is played on Minstrel) I hope you enjoy. Happy Christmas and stay safe.
