  1. Neverending creativity! been sneaking a look at yr wee videos.............for those with no iphonepads http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=englitina&search_type=&aq=f
  2. Be nice if u could kindly list the URLs you have found with harmonica tab. tks
  3. If you can scan the music and post it on here I'll translate it to ABC luvverly. tried putting score into convertomatic box but was a result for dummies - nowt. will try email attachment of the pdf...
  4. Got the dots but sound would be a great help. Thanks!
  5. Me too. But not as good as Bob. He's one of the greats (to my taste). Ukes have one unbeatable advantage over concertina: $300 will buy your some of the best playing instruments. A Flea is $110 and a Fluke is some $200 and these are best overall instruments money could buy. Folkus 2010 at Waddow had a uke side group for rock bottom starters which turned out a treat and a barrowload of them were for sale at under a tenner I think - it's not the instrument but the player..... :rolleyes:
  6. Someone was talking about international freight but can't find but here's a clear risk of bellowsing occurring due to airline handlers (nothing to do with Guran Ram ergonomics ones: courtesty of Oz repairer Peter Anderson ( yeah yeah I know he fixes accordions, but he also tunes reeds!) http://members.optusnet.com.au/~capt.accordion/mypic14.gif
  7. Very thoughtful (even tho I dont have an I-phone!) and considerate. Please have 10+ imaginary reputation points!
  8. Copied over from other thread) Apart from the sound of motorbikes ( http://osuarts.blogspot.com/2007/04/motorcycle-musichttpwww2bloggercomimggl.html ) Hartside is known for its primary schoool doing some interesting work on music composition by children (http://www.durhamlea.org.uk/resources/index.html?_Action=viewrecord&_Id=1082) tho that ought praps to be in tunes forum. Praps picture of Hartside snow scene over at the delirium tremens discussion might inspire Al Chris or LDT to give us a new tune?
  9. Virtuoso expression by drunks suffering from the DTs -- they can hit all buttons in rapid succession Sorry was slow to answer the Q about the DTs but u got the answer - was out of circulation, shaking... in the snow over Hartside (see pic) and the caff was shut. Apart from the sound of motorbikes ( http://osuarts.blogspot.com/2007/04/motorcycle-musichttpwww2bloggercomimggl.html Hartside is known for its primary schoool doing some interesting work on music composition by children (http://www.durhamlea.org.uk/resources/index.html?_Action=viewrecord&_Id=1082) tho that ought praps to be in tunes forum. BTW I don't know why we say 'THE' DTs, as tremens is a present participle used in adjectival form methinks - after all, we don't say 'The' bellowsing. And Hartside tlks about 'ostinato' which new to me ...any pedants out there? Someone explained some time back about producing tremolo effect by shaking bellows and I have been trying that and it has a really nice effect for moany/heartstringpully toons so thank u whoever it was. When Parkinson's takes over I will get even better without having to shell out on Irish Whiskey PS. Wot do folks think of this glossary - http://www.dolmetsch.com/musictheorydefs.htm
  10. Brill!!!!!! The fiddlers always have the best flourishes - tku Pandora's brother.... actually that own brand is my breakfast favourite - it's the munchiness of the decaying cat gut strings which beat those metal Evah Pirazzi strings at every mouthful
  11. I had such a nice welcome from the Leyland Accordion club tonight that I told them they would find this debate quite interesting :P They offer a warm welcome to tinas and melodeons (and even harmonicas) handled by beginners or Albert Hall performers. ** Here's my note transmogrified from Melnet: Going to check out what is said to be very warm welcome....Anyone else near there who is going? 2000 to 2300 The Priory Club, Broadfield Drive, Leyland, Lancashire, England, PR25 1QN http://www.accordionclub.co.uk/ Verdict Very welcoming and laid back - half a dozen beginners being helped on their own by the accordionisti, around a very very large room (with a stage they use on regular concert nights) a silvery light drum combo in another corner, a melodeon diddling away with great expertise and accompanied by some v good tina fingering, plus several very helpful hands to trace a mysterious leak on my bass section..... and a good mild shandy. Melodeons and tinas welcome (and harmonicas, including a very classy Larry Adler professional chromatic). I also alerted them to the rather hot debate about accordions and tinas going on at http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10882&hl=accordion&st=18 I don't see the problem myself - I love em all! :rolleyes:
  12. Another string from my e-charity bow has gone ping! - I used to spread lots of pluses around to boost morale, (...and never a minus did I select) particularly for those under attack by the lurker negatives :P
  13. Virtuoso expression by drunks suffering from the DTs -- they can hit all buttons in rapid succession
  14. One come up now: as noisy as Morris dancing pub crowd, but footwork a bit faster
  15. Can't find link for the skating by Joannie Rochette of Canada (BBC2) but here is Julio Iglesias singing the music she danced to. Joannie's mother just died of a heart attack while in Vancouver. She gave a stupendous, very brave performance. :rolleyes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMq-sMeuBx4 \and Tito Castro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCD1aDCx88U
  16. Did I miss the photo?????????? Who knows he could be sitting on a special edition Jeffrie Crabb adapted by Vicker Lachenal of Wheatstone & Telegraph and sold by Crane and Sons for the Grand Tour by Prinz Chemnitzer leaving Liverpool on the Titanic and worth thousands after refurb..... :ph34r:
  17. Try checking the buttons using the Graham Patent 20 Anglo Chart for Beginners (u can sellotape it the right and left sides of the box!) I hope I have the right notes....LoL Above the line are the C row of buttons notes furthest from your fingers and below the line are the G row buttons nearer to your fingers. Blow is the same as push and suck is same as pull out - B and S to avoid confusion for me over P ush and P ull.... Copy, paste into Word, bold as required and make as big as u can (it has to fit on the wood/bellows binding on right and left) cut to shape, sellotape down and start cooking. Right side bC D F A B blow s B E G C E suck ------------------------------- bF# A C E F# blow s G B D G B suck Left side b C G C E G blow s G B D F A suck --------------------------- b G D G B D blow s D F# A C E suck if you don't get notes something like these coming out then send it to Theo! Or you follow Dirge and open up (unscrew keeping screws laid out in order so they go back in the same holes and then http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10770 put a pencil mark on where u took it out (on the pan and the side) so u can match up tp stick it back the same way it came out. When open poke (visually!) around inside and see what's stuck, leaking, bent, eaten by moths, or the little man inside may be on strike and need feeding etc etc
  18. All you need now is the right setting -- a speakeasy to play it in somewhere downtown at 0300... wearing your shades!
  19. This is one of a number of interesting items from the FOLKUS Feb 5/7 2010 beginners and etc weekend at Waddow. There were only three tinas there (not on the official teaching agenda but hiding away and making a few notes in the middle of the night sessions which were mainly song and guitar). I have looked for this Penny for the Ploughboy song/toon played on concertina but not found: but perhaps someone else may have more luck: OR someone might play and record it for us on tina>>> :rolleyes: Pete Coe plays melodeon and sings Penny for the ploughboys ( by Colin Cater) mvi_8418.wmv FOLKUS 2010 WADDOW CLITHEROE LANCS UK good singalong tune. Lyrics here: http://www.backshift.demon.co.uk/lyrics.htm#ploughboys mixture of fiddles, guitars, melodeons, bodhrans, whistles, mandolins, dulcimers from the same event - dig around under individual, concert and ceilidh at http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=insightandmind&search_type=&aq=f

  21. good - just realised we had a scoop with Geoff Crabb playing I'll take you home Kathleen as he says he never plays in public! That's a favourite of mine (so slow easy to finger) but his interpretation was stunning... and I have him singing at midnight too somewhere.... there is more snow coming in - must go out again for a short time and play the high F# on right hand to see if any rescuers hear us...........
  22. Try boat number 86 .... while I try to earn a crust... Bradfield/Ruishton There's about 10 up there now - if u ignore the Witney stuff then the rest is new under insightandmind ---- remember one word http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=insightandmind&search_type=&aq=f Might get captions up in a week or two... otherwise just look for your face/box or guess who's who... I have to go out and I may be sometime... then maybe some Swaledale nuggets :) ps has that boat 666 sunk yet? If not, full permission to ram! and don't complain if u are sideways - it;s the music not the musician which is important
