My wife and I attended our firs slow session on Thursday night at the Redondo Beach Hennessey Pub. It was lots of fun, but our skill set is, apparently, slower than a slow session! Now we have a motivator to get our speed and settings perfect. Both our instruments seemed on the quite side in a pub setting, which was surprising. BTW, we found this group through the Meet-up Org., and there is also a Irish Language meet up immediately before the session. I'd like to cut and paste hot links to both, but seem unable to currently. New policy due to abuse?

You don't know why your wife got you the circle of fifths T-shirt? What's your favorite drink? What's my favorite drink? Everything, that's why I quit.

maki replied to Jim Besser's topic in Tune of the Month
Very nice playing indeed. And lovely photos to accompany the video. Is there a Coble on the beach in the second photo? -
I just got a pair as a present to my wife for our anniversary. The photos really don't do them justice. They are simply exquisite. Thank you Alex!

Congratulations on your new anglo. Do you also play Duet? Formidable!

Not a duet player, yet. But I am mighty intrigued by cords. My music knowledge is pretty meagre so to improve this I've been reading this music theory book. http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Guide-Theory-Edition/dp/1592574378 I also got this cord wheel for the same reason. http://www.amazon.com/Chord-Wheel-Ultimate-Tool-Musicians/dp/0634021427/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1421848693&sr=1-1&keywords=cord+wheel The cost of both purchased together was about $20 from Amazon. I suspect that if you go duet you really need to be able to make your own arrangements.( Not that I have a clue.)

Learning "across The Rows,"or The "cross Row Technique"
maki replied to Turloughsgirl's topic in Teaching and Learning
Face to face lesson are probably the best way to learn, follwed by Skype. I really like the Online Academy of Irish Music. Free lessons and info here: http://www.oaim.ie/free-lessons/concertina I have "A Tutor for the Anglo Concertina in the Irish Style by Mick Bramich". Which is good, and has some really wonderful tunes, I much prefer "The Concertina Diaries". http://www.irishtunebook.com/the-concertina-diaries.php -

Hello and welcome to the forum. What make of concertina do you play? Do you folks have beginners sessions in Austin, or are you playing at full speed already? I'm hoping to travel through there in the next year or so. Where a when do the sessions run? Thanks, and again, welcome.
