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

Can't find link
One come up now:
as noisy as Morris dancing pub crowd, but footwork a bit faster

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.

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: -
Just one other thought occurs to me. Are some notes playing all the time, even when you push and pull the bellows without pressing any buttons? If so then the concertina needs repair.
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.

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

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

Here is a new jazz tune to a song I have recently written.
Great fun to play,I hope you like it.
Played on a CG Jeffries Anglo
Al
All you need now is the right setting -- a speakeasy to play it in somewhere downtown at 0300... wearing your shades!

I have the Colin Cater book and CD, "A Penny for the Ploughboys". Colin writes some lovely tunes and songs and Pete Coe is the only singer who sings Penny for the Ploughboys, according to Colin, aside from Colin himself. Nice to be able to contrast the singing and playing of Pete Coe's version with that of Colin's, on his own CD.
Chris
So a Chris and Michael Sam duet then??!!

Great song. Pete is so good on those old Hohners. On the discussion about chords I mentioned melodeons. I think there is crossover opportunity but the fact that the chords all come in one piece on a melodeon ( 3 notes all on the same pull or push) makes for ease in some songs but is a limitation in others. I sing to various melodeons and they dont have the flexibilty of the C/G Anglo for more subtle chords but I'll see how I get on with the Ploughboy song by Colin Cater.
Thanks
Looking forward to it!

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>>>

Lots of nice videos Thanks!
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...........

I remember that melodeon player Milkie Keith ( yes a milkman) and his pals did 50s songs at the Endeavour during Whitby folk week. Very popular with the holidaymakers and the older folkies.
The 50s were a funny period we were coming out of austerity and yet still singing pre war type music then Elvis, Lonnie Donegan , Dylan and The Beatles came along, Changed - changed utterly, a terrible beauty was born ( To quote Yeats )

Something wrong with that link, seems to be a chunk missing from the url.
Sorry - stuck it in again, tho U Godmaker should have been able to communicate telepathically with another concertina Godmaker!

Would this kind of fusi-eon music fit the bill? it is part of melodeon.net's tune of the month exercise and shows how you can jazz up a funeral/lament - must have been an Irish wake on Cognac de Limousin
If you want a classic example of how a funeral march can be given a modern treatment (I do not know what category you would put it in), take a look at Henry Purcell's funeral march for the death of Queen Mary, 1695 AD.
In a modern guise, it became the title theme to the film 'A Clockwork Orange', a very different arrangement from the original.
I thought the film was mostly weird and boring, but I loved its music. It introduced me to Beethoven's 9th Symphony, which I still regard as one of the best pieces of music ever written.

Vinteresting: and of course the dodgy fiddle-case carrying players have got their hands on it too:

On a more serious note we are bringing with us a lovely Jazz singer and her husband who plays guitar

No LDT I shall only bring Will, Kazoo is buzzing around that weekend and cannot make it.

Autolathe scan (someone else's good end)and auto-mill?
Same again for the piercings for accuracy.
There must be companies out there doing this.
Veneer after as required as per Theo's counsels.
http://www.millit5.com/Process.html
there are lots of youtubes on hand milling out 'bowls' for the moulding but looks like a fair amount of skill to get it accuratte whereas a scan should be deadly accurate.
The same principle of scan and cut should work for any fretwork surely.
ps I have been talking to some Chinese engineering Cos who can scan and cut metal parts (they supply many of the big mobike names with sprockets, brake cylinders, panels, housings etc) but followup has been slow.
pps and remember to put pencil marks on box and pan top sides before you pull the pan out with your thumb hrough the hole ...so u know how it goes back. Took me days to find out how to make that move originally!

I received my copy last friday. Though I must admit that I have no comprehension of
their mailing schedule. I seem to receive them catch-as-catch-can.
Mark
What should happen is that you get four publications a year: three copies of Concertina World (with music supplement) and one copy of Papers of the International Concertina Association, with roughly three-month gaps.
This time we were a bit late and PICA caught up with CW, so you got three documents in one envelope. Normal service should now be resumed.
Even better value!!!! Join up join up!

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!
