Just a thought 1 I was once told that the common key for male and femail voices in church is Eb same as F# Bob

Try to find a pub session and listen to some great playing .Take your concertina but beware ITM is played at quite a swift pace .Bob

I often go to Play and sing .Sessions at different clubs .Very often it is dominated by Guitars who play all manor of Pop songs some are happy for me to play along .My Question .-Once I identify the key is it better to just play a Pentatonic Scale and although for Major this excludes the 4th and 7th Interval can I play the 4th Chord of the Scale which I might play as an arpeggio or broken chord .I am not very good at music theory so tell me how you deal with this situation . Thanks Bob

I have been using my Anglo for several years now and although not leaking they are shoeing signs of wear on the bottom. Can I remove the ends and put them back on in a different position ?.Thus moving the worn side facing another direction . Bob

I was recently playing some ITM in a noisy pub and noticed that I could not hear what I was playing and so had to but out of the tune being played .Am I alone with this or am I missing something ? Bob

I was listening to a U Tube video recently about Singing Harmonies .A nice tip I heard was to take tunes that you know and try to play them in several different keys by (ear) . Many tunes will be possible .Try in the keys of C,G,D.A and F to start with .This teaches you that once you find the start note where to find next note .Once you have done that you can also sing and try to find the chords that go with the song . Again do it in several keys just playing Chords .Hope that helps . Bob

I hope this is relevant to your Blog Jody. I can whistle on key to many tunes but it takes me a good long while to find the notes on my Anglo even if I play in a common Key say C or G .I have been playing since 2004 .I still often need written score to show me where to put my fingers ,I listen to the tune for lift .Is it just practice to here a note and then reproduce it on my instrument ? I would be grateful for any Advice. Thanks Bob

I want to improve my sound .I leant to play Irish style across rows, Now when I play and sing Harmony style , although I can play with the correct chording I think I have lost my Vamp. Listening to other singer/ players of Anglo I hear lots of Bellows reversals which the Anglo is known for. Jody for instance I hear you do this a lot .For example playing in keys G,C &D Am & Em ,I ought to know but are there Chords that reverse say C to G ,G to D excreta .Thanks Bob

Just been up to Bishops Castle in Shropshire to one of Sir Johns Anglo Workshops .What a Brilliant 21/2 days tuition with a lovely bunch of musicians .John inspired me to focus my practice to achieve a altogether better sound and method of playing harmony .Although I was aware of the many techniques being taught it was grate being reminded and having them demonstrated by a Master Player . Thanks John and All who made the weekend so enjoyable .Bob

Always concerned about my Concertinas being stolen .I try to keep them with me at all times when out and in a locked car boot or house at other times .Unlike some instruments they are hand made can not be replaced .Being small they would be difficult to trace or even prove who they belong to .I wondered if smart-water could be used.The water has a code that will lead back to the owner.Also wondering if it would be useful to fit a locator tab to my case . Any Thoughts .?
