Thank you everyone for your kind words.
The rolling motion and the movement of the instrument (in answer to Jack's question) is just my natural response to the music.

Re: Tango Caliente
As both a concertina player and a tango dancer - I loved it!

Dear Blue Eyed Sailor and Bruce McCaskey,
Thank you so much for your comments. I work hard at the instrument and the message I want to convey and truly appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the complimentary comments.
They are well appreciated.
I also very much liked hearing that you enjoyed your own musical efforts.
Often not easy --- so Bravo!
I would love to hear your "Beyond the Reef."

Sorry everyone, I didn't realize I had posted this previously.

Great moves and mood shifts there. Couldnt make out what box it is (I would have been distracted by a souwester and umbrella just as much as your tan tenue!)
Thank you for your kind words! It's a Wheatstone English. I am puzzled by your last comment. What is tan tenue?

Is the arrangement your own? I like it a lot.

Yes, please do tell us about this arrangement.
I was inspired to download a score for "As time goes by"( a simple piano version) but it does not appear to be as good as your setting Dick.
best regards,
Geoff.
That arrangement and others were given to me as a personal gift by my long-time music coach and dear friend before his passing.

That was lovely.

Thank you so much for your lovely response.

Excellent. Nice arrangement too. Thanks for that.
It's difficult to see; is this more proof that you can play a full accompaniment on an English? (Not that I've ever believed otherwise, incidentally.)
Great stuff.
Thank you for your praise. I take it to heart.

Very, Very Nice!
And extra points because it's one that I'm familiar with...
I appreciate your kind words. Thank you.

Ah! With the improved quality we can now see how wonderfully neat and clean your house is.
But really it is much easier to see how you are really getting into these pieces, using your breathing and mouthing the words(?) and thus getting the emotion into your music. Wonderfull !
Geoff.
Dear Geoff,
Thank you so much for your words of praise and encouragement. They mean a lot to me.

"Play it, Sam!" Absolutely delightful. I second Geoff's comments. More, please! BTW, what make and model of EC are you playing?
Chris
Dear Chris,
Thank you (and all) for the good words.
I'm playing a Wheatstone model 2E treble range English Concertina, 48 keys from G below middle C to C, 6-fold bellows. I believe its construction was in the mid 1920's.
Again, much thanks to all for taking the time to watch, listen and comment.
