Al, I expect you are well aware of the website 'Jim Bottorffs Banjo Page'. www.jbott.com/ Thank you Rod YOU'RE THE CREAM IN MY COFFEE !! - Key of C - Chords & Lyrics and at last a site that tells you the key of all the songs - as in this one mentioned ... that's a supertimesaver and there are so many in G and C and F for my awkward melodeon. I am going to tell the MAD people on the other side...... they'll go crazy especially for: CRAZY - Key of F - Chords & Lyrics :D Yes Kautilya, Jim Bottorff certainly has his heart in the right place. 'The cream in your coffee' ?? Nicest thing anybody has said to me for a long time ! Rod My other half thought (her fatherinlaw used to sing this apparently) that the next line was "and the sugar in my tea" but we now discover it is actually "and the salt in my stew" which sort of takes the Ross-Teenager-in-Love gloss off it a bit! We spent the evening working our way through all the G C and F ones we knew. much fun and as I suggested to the C campaigning Freereedermeister at melnet a good source to encourage more C playing amongst starter players like me.

There's something French about this and it does grow on you. If you are up for it then this sounds like a great outdoor tune for the dancing at the Fete du Hareng in Boulogne - due this November. Cheap ferries and hotels too at that time or Chunnel if the weather looks dodgy. Maybe a tina melnet outing with the Rosbif Georgers and others..... Last year it was Nov 21/22 and slated for late in Nov for 2010 too. http://www.tourisme-boulognesurmer.com/evenements_detail.php?id=15 Fête du Hareng For Boulogne’s annual herring festival, giant barbecues are set up along Quai Gambetta to grill the fish that are washed down with Beaujolais Nouveau. Folk-dancing and other cultural manifestations. Some 10,000 visitors expected during the weekend. Daily 10am-7pm. http://www.northernfrance-within90minutesofcalais.co.uk/nfnovember.htm http://www.routard.com/guide_agenda_detail/11107/fete_du_hareng_a_boulogne_sur_mer.htm

wonderful.

Tks Paul Buik and Jim for the list/sources. reason I luv these is they are easier for beginners with slow fingers!!!!! :blink:

Look on Web for free software to convert a WAV to an MP3 and that will go up. How many MB is the WAV file?

Well done! Definitely one for the haunting tunes thread elsewhere - well chosen building for the resonance of. More please. There is definitely some mileage for you praps in Jeremiah's Lamentations derived from the Gregorian Chant and for those who wonder what that may have to do with it, fear not... here's a Jazz link: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=760 If you cant find the J Lam's music mentioned above I may be able to dig out the plain chant notation from the "liber usualis" (under the pre-Easter Sunday services). Can't put my hand on it this moment as I have buried it somewhere but will dig out and photo page if you interested. Its attraction lies in its 'haunting' simplicity and if you cheat you can build it up with more chords and voices after each repetition.It can become cataclysmic on a big pipe organ and your machine there has the same potential -throw in some speakers and the whole valley would sit up and respond on the shehnai!

The mysteries of the sound dubbing on Windows Moviemaker may mean u hear another voice in the background and it refuses to play the flourish at the very end! It really makes a big difference. Some will remember I was having to stick my middle finger in the Lachenal advertising slot at the top of the frame to get sufficient purchase to pull the seven-fold bellows right open. Thanks for the advice Geoff! (at Bradfield at 0100 hours midst the hay in the barn..... :blink: ) This Lachenal must have had good use for the air button to wear down and Chris Algar told me the box ends were perhaps the most used (someone's acidic hands)he had seen but the sound one of the best he had ever heard. The new seven fold bellows also means a lot of power hence the need for an easy air button.

just the canon G9 video at standard (not high) res video setting. There is straight sound too but unable to edit as too long for youtube - on old sony ICD MS515 (17 hour 128MB memory stick)- Zoom would be better to reduce surrounding chat. How did you spot yourself? Don't remember "a mirror mirror on the wall" opposite you... unless you were seeing your reflection in the washboard next to you!

For those interested in bringing younguns into the system the melodeon MADpersons are doing a good job. While Kirkpatrick and fellow tutors got plaudits from the oldie participants for the workshops the real stars were in the Town Hall Foyer. Wem is the home of the Sweet Pea - and some of the Sweetest Peas played their mini melodeons at lunchtime for participants at the 2010 Shropshire Squeeze (details for 2011 below) in Wem Town Hall (free parking round the corner when you shop at the coop.....). Ray Langton the organiser is blazing a trail to get youngsters enjoying and playing the Melodeon. He says "The Whithurch Infant School youngsters were aged 5-7 years and had 3 sessions with me-split into two half hours each session. The Year 7 Thomas Adams School pupils (aged 11/12) had two days with me with 4, 1-hour sessions each day. A few pictures first..........

I warned you to keep to drinking water and to keep off the Tomato=Rite Chris - the fertiliser just sends your literary brain into cryptic clue overdrive and puts too much spring in your gardening steps down which water trips from the goldfish pond......... :ph34r:

Watch your little boxes: if they can get away with one this big (and expensive...) Accordion Stolen in Evesham Richard Adey was setting up to play in Evesham when his Scandalli Super L Accordion Was Stolen. To the right is a picture of the stolen Accordion which has the grill missing. If you have any information please contact Richard Adey on 07944571702 or richard.adey@btinternet.com u cant see pic unless u logged into leyland accordion club (www.accordionclub.co.uk) but here's the same for sale at 6,800 quid at Emilio Allodi's in London http://www.accordions.co.uk/Newinstviewdocs.htm/ScSupVIL.htm PS bicycle flexi chain and lock through handles or straps and padlock attached to chair or radiator or table will offer some safety. Maybe we need a kind of portable bike rack box equivalent for events!!!!!! :lol:

Phew! _ I thought HC was adding another problem to my long list... but I see that is only for folk coming up from other side of Jodrell Bank alien landing site and through the peak district and my route was to be East Lancs M60 M67 A628. However, my car has gone kerphut and I am stuck near Ormskirk while garage has failed for three days to find cause of diesel engine dying. :) Car mysteriously started running again without garage doing anything ..... might make it yet... through the thunderstorms. Maybe the gods of KirkWesson smiled and waved a daffodil over it. :rolleyes:

Phew! _ I thought HJC was adding another problem to my long list... but I see that is only for folk coming up from other side of Jodrell Bank alien landing site and through the peak district and my route was to be East Lancs M60 M67 A628. However, my car has gone kerphut and I am stuck near Ormskirk while garage has failed for three days to find cause of diesel engine dying. I may be able to get a lift right to edgmount Farm at Bradfield from someone heading from Ormskirk up to Durham on Friday. Is there anyone out there with a pantechnicon who would be coming back from Bradfield to Bickerstaffe/Ormskirk/Southport side on Sunday and could stash me and junk along with the furniture in the back? Glady Contribute to cost of oats! After car collapse I had thought I might be able to mobike over with tent on my head but at MOT on Sat, gash found across tyre and, tho passed MOT a bit worrying for a long trip and anyway looking impossible to get new one ordered and fitted in time......... aagghhh The best laid plans of men and micetinas.... :(
