....and it's terrific. This looks like a real blessing for a struggling young wink.gif concertina player.

Just wanted to convey, in public, my thanks for this great FREE resource! The postage was nearly $1.00 and the blank CD is probably another $1.00. Don't know how Alan can keep this up (unless, to quote the old joke, he depends on volume, volume, volume.)

I will be trying to find someone to reimburse, but in the meantime, many thanks!

Thanks for your kind words Mike ,but Alex Jones is the one to thank.
Alex kindly offered to send this tutor out from his home after recieving the second copy about two years ago.He has been providing these for the whole of America and they go out within a few days of you sending me a request for one.Like me he does not charge, but he has kindly recieved donations towards costs,some of which have been very generous and covered subsequent ones.Thank you again Alex for your support.
I originally did this in cassette form for Dan Bradbury and when it was half completed Alex wrote on C.net for details of English style playing,I then recorded another side.I sent Alex a copy and he made it into CD format taking out the clicks etc as it was only recorded on a walkman and not professionally made.Had I have known the response I would have done a better job and certainly not left in playing mistakes etc.This tutor has now gone all over the world and I am still amazed at the response.It has made me many friends and also I recieve music worldwide sometimes in return ,so it is very worthwhile.When I retire I may not be so generous ,I will see how my pennies last out.
