Alan Day Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Does a doctor take apart a concertina to make sure all is ok and remove anything nasty he may find inside? Does a interior designer buy a concertina with a certain bellows colour so it matches the wallpaper? Does a metallurgist take out all the reeds and springs to analise the metal content and test for hairline cracks? Does a nurse wrap up her concertina in a cloth and say goodnight before closing the box lid? Does an artist stand and look at the fretwork and papers design before playing? Does a Librarian catalogue all the tunes and players in alphabetical order? Who have I missed. Al (Having a silly five minutes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Al (Having a silly five minutes) Maybe Al should take a short holiday... to where he can have a Scilly five minutes. Who have I missed. Does a lawyer cross-examine his concertina before playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart estell Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Computer programmers - they press all the buttons in an apparently random fashion, then with an expression of childish glee, exclaim "WATCH WHAT THIS DOES!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 (edited) And loan sharks only squeeze. (They play those push-only basses with the "gills"?) They release the pressure only when you pay, "pal". [Edited to add the final pun. ] Edited November 19, 2004 by JimLucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Stephenson Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 A teacher would only play when they have "our best attention", and ask questions about it afterwards. A midwife would instruct us to "PUSH" all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Stephenson Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Er.. A fisherman would play reels and crans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Do American Republicans play only instruments with bushed buttons? And Democrats... unbushed? Do Republican Irish-Americans refuse to play Kerry polkas and slides? Do environmentalist concertinists insist on green bellows? Do train workers avoid the English because it doesn't have "rails"? Do fishermen only play Crabbs? Do millers only play Wheatstones? A psychiatrist would first try to determine whether the concertina really wanted to be played. How many light bulb changers does it take to play a concertina? Do horticulturists favor rosewood ends? Does Alan Day ever play at night? Do concertina-playing grotesques look down on the rest of us?

JimLucas Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Hi to everyone. This is my first post. Let's hope it's not your last. Considering your handle here and the current discussion about the ages of concertina players, I wonder how old you are and how long you've been playing.

Alan Day Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 Do Dentists extract all the buttons and then charge a fortune for putting them back? Do Robotics Engineers make the concertina play itself? Do Judges weigh up the facts and put the concertina back in the box? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Do therapists ask how does that make you feel? Do doctors ask you to open wide? (the bellows) I am still chuckling over does Alan Day play at night. Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
