No I was having trouble because I wanted the full Prof E tune, mostly for people's amusement.
Not sure if you are after the original Neapolitan version or the more recent Italian but as this is a "song" first and melody second (sune)you should have the words as well: no harm in having both language versions to begin with = dots later
http://www.italiamerica.org/%27O_sole_mio.htm
In the meantime for dots, try some of your 'local'(like New York, Las Vegas, Italo-American, Corleone, Capone, Lanza, links searching for
canzone napoletane
or
canzone napulitane
partitura
or plural:
partiture
or
partitura orchestrale o sole mio
(a music score, same root as for French 'partition')
with or without
o sole mio
I just happen to have a vocal recording from Brussels recently by a cantante maggiore but it was a privat party ( folk were caterwauling and drinking together)... so alas not for public consumption
That said, another potential might be Santa Lucia, of which there was a vocal plus orchestra (about 20 instruments including concertinas) at one of the Whitby Folk Week Eurosessions in The Resolution(the Wednesday or Thursday; but the recording got lost -- unless someone recorded that session in which case let us know! which also included one of Dirge's favourites
- Moscow Nights close-accompanied by Flute, Recorder, Violin and Concertina with backing from a dozen other instruments from melodeon to clarinet. -
Thank you all for these tips.
I'll get a copy of the updated maintenance manual, read it, and keep it with my growing collection of concertina books.
I'll also pick up a set of valves (with a few spares) and a few springs.
This little mishap turned into quite a learning experience!
if you can remove a splinter from your finger with tweezers and stick a plaster on the "wound" you have the skills easily to do the odd valve yourself.
Putting stuff in the post is a recipe for other things coming loose, sticking etc.
Just remember all the warnings about not leaving the detached tina ends around on the table overnight as apparently they can distort and this can result in airleaks when you put em back on. It is a pain to rebolt em back on after messing about for just half an hour or so but seems it is better to be safe than sorry.
I too have a Lachenal through the Hands of Algar, and have done various adjustments such as slackening off the air button spring, blowing out muck, refixing straps in worn out screw holes - saved so much time for so little effort and gives you a real sense of squeezepower.

Err.... Are you sure it is an RTF file? RTF is usually, as the name implies, a format for text and not for sound... It is quite possible you got a message sent in RTF format to which some sort of sound file is attached. Take another look.

Parking in Whitby is a nightmare at any time of year and when there are popular events on, then it is even worse. Scarborough Borough Council car parking charges are extortionate (and that's being polite) but the car parks still fill up so forget that even if you have the mortgage organised. You have two options. One is to park right outside Whitby and use the bus and the other is to be prepared to walk. You can get parked on the streets but nowhere near the town centre. One year I parked in Sleights which is about five miles from Whitby and used the bus and went to fetch the car after six o'clock when the car parks empty and the charges come off. Otherwise I have parked some distance from the town centre and walked. I can usually get within about 10 minutes walk of the town centre.
Don't believe what you see on Google. I found out the hard way. During folk week all those potential spaces you see on the aerial and street views are taken - during the day at least. After six pm, things empty out quite a bit and you can usually move your car to a more convenient location for the evening.
I would seriously consider bus or train if the last bus and train to Middlesbrough weren't so early.

Borrowing friendski's spare yacht so parking should not be a problem.

Free 'on street' parking in Whitby is a rare as hen's teeth in the holiday season and even residential areas away from the town centre get clogged with holiday makers parking up for the week.
Are you looking at the path/railings to the South of the Backpackers Hostel or Northwards up towards the Fleece and Church Street? I'll have an amble across there later on to have a look
With the sea to your back (watch for high waves rolling in) and river and backpackers on your right walk "up" the road over Spital bridge( Iassume the road bridge is called that) and there is some wide entrance to track/road going off to the left - and into wot looks like trees/allotments growing Fordtransitii and so forth. There are no yellow lines where that meeets the road. The googstreet is so diff to use --
-
A rumour is being circulated that a sunny day may attract fly-by-day players to the waterside next to the Whitby Backpackers . Only extras you would need it seems are folding stool/chair, coolbox with refreshments and praps water wings.
Google0map here for street pics of the water's edge.

parking beyond the Spital's bridge (on the left) by the look of things....
I think the row of parking places by the cottages may be private (I'll check) and the bit of handy cobbled 'parking' you're looking at on Google is the slipway ....... and the tide comes in 
here's a link to the tide tables for August http://www.tidetimes.org.uk/Whitby-20110820.htmlAnyone for Handel's water music (Dirge will have gone home by then....but we have him plaaying Nimrod, God of the Sun accompanied by melodeon from ECMW if u want to hear it!)
be good to know parking if u can check out - I see cars parked on Google street, where no yellow lines the other side of spital bridge heading away from the slipway and cobbled/car park at cottages. Backpackers' parking will be full we understand with reezidents conveyances, but they will just bring their cold drinks & seat out as needed.
What about the other side of the houses where there seems to be a path and rail right in front of the water (for playing, not parking)?

............the Bird in the Bush?
Hmm, is that a pub?
directions, please

Any session pubs closed down as was rumoured earler in the year?
The 'Bottom House' is now flats, the 'First Inn' isn't folk friendly any more, the 'Big A' is still boarded up and I'm not sure if the 'Stakesby Arms' has re-opened yet but I'll find out when I'm up that way to drop some music off for someone
Definitely still going are the Fleece, Middle Earth, Black Horse, Endeavour, Ship, Station, the Dolphin down the Bay and probably some more
looking in the programme Becketts cafe on Skinner St. will welcome musicians and singers and there's a daily lunchtime 'have a go' session run by May Cheadle in the Spa Foyer between 1pm-2pm for people who feel a bit shy of joining in a full blown pub session

Latest email from fest says we can be on site from Sunday 21st Aug, that is the weekend before the fest starts.
Therefore, there's now scope to get some <i>'early bird sessions'</i> in, either on site or in local pubes.
Anyone else be around to join such & come out to play with us?
26 - 27 - 28 - 29 August 2011
Plse Keep gloomy movements posted as you flit from venue to venue so we can see where to find you sesshunning in town or nearby hamlets (after Whitby which finishes 26th).

We'll be there looking for good sessions and workshops.
So far my events programme has highlighter on it for Sunday at the Rifle club 11.30am-12.50pm 'The Tunes of Scan Tester'with Will Duke, and a tie between a music session with Moor Music in the Middle Earth or John Kirkpatrick in the Fishermans, both running from 5pm-7pm
Monday there's a C/G Anglo workshop10am-11.20 at the Con club with Brian Peters followed by a quick sprint to get some lunch and meet the Scratch Morris for the rest of the day
Tuesday there's an English music session in the Middle Earth 5pm-7pm with Ken Watson
Wednesday there's Early Music at the Con club 11.30am-12.50 with Andy Casserley and Ian Pittaway then Scratch morris for the rest of the afternoon until 4.30pm when the Coliseum has a concert of Medieval music
Thursday has a clash between the Early music and learning Swedish tunes with a sprint to the Elsinore afterwards to put some faces to melnet names while Friday is either more Scan Tester tunes or an All Systems Concertina forum in the Rugby Club 11.30am-12.50 with Keith Kendrick and Sylvia Needham followed by Scratch Morris.
Add in all the spur of the moment pub sessions and it's going to be a great week

Mine easily takes 20b Lachenal in main compartment( so most standard sizes of different tina makes) with large four-part Hohner kreuzwender on top of tina or my 10-small-harp carrying box on top of tina, plus triangle underneath tina) highland harmonica down side of tina.
The top zip section holds four to five large harmonicas (or a couple and the 4-part Kreuzwender), batteries in side net pockets, bottom zip holds at least four large harmonicas, screwdrivers, small pliers cough sweets (for the tina).
More mouth organs/ocarinas, recorder (as in digital), lunch in the front side zip pocket.
Been slinging mine around and dropping it for at least a year now - no probs.
Its waterproof bottom is also good for putting down on puddles (in car park, beer,.....)

George Garside on t'other side says:
looks as if there there may be one or two of us in the Elsinore on Thursday afternoon! Maybe a few 'non melnet' (as yet!) box players who will read the notice in the daily newssheet etc.
Just in case anybody thinks otherwise it's not a DG gathering, although no doubt they will be the majority - all sook an blow boxes of whatever tuning ( and their owners) will be most welcome.

Very chirpy and lightfantastic - just have to decide whether it is heading for the hills on a sunny midday after a reviving pint and sandwich at the Scotch Corner or whether it is coming down to the pub in the afternoon sun in anticipation. It also has pigeons dancing in the blue summer sky from the local pigeon lofts around Spennymoor and Bishop Auckland castle...
Also sounds Swiss walker's song among the cowbells on the pastures below the summer Jungfraujoch in Grindelwald,if you run it in ABCexplorer glockenspiel.
