It's not the number of folds in his bellows that count, but the action of his buttons...

A video for the first tune on my new collection "How to treat a Duck" The Concertina appearing in this video is my red Chinese stunt concertina , not the Clover Anglo used in the recording.

Also there was a note on the door that a recording was being made.

Just a note that I saw Bertram Levy perform this past Saturday at Island Music Center on Bainbridge Island WA. it was billed as "Concertina and Bandoneon. Bellow visions from Appalachia to the Tangosphere" with Michael Townsend on Guitar and Russell Clark he played tunes from "Paddyrocker", "Turkey in the straw" to "Tiko Tiko" on his Dipper and Tango peices on the Bandoneon

just a followup to the "Halloween-2011-Setup" , the local newspaper folk were on hand and took a few pics and a mention about it http://www.northkitsapherald.com/news/133031393.html

Just in time for Haloween. I was staying at a hotel and spotted a Concertina breifly on Cable TV... somewhere in "From Dusk to Dawn III: the Hangman's daughter". It was a saloon band scene somewhere just before the vampires go into a frenzy

me thinks I would be wanting the most suitable concertina floatation device.

I do a run through both instruments back to back on the same recording session here

using the Clover Anglo here recorded on top of the washington state ferry M/V tacoma. http://duckylovestwowomen.bandcamp.com/track/the-pelican-and-the-piper

now just Replace the air button with a beer tap handle.

RTF (rich text) can contain embeded OLE objects such as wav files You can try to open the file in wordpad to see if there is an embedded wave file icon

Possibly it signifies the start of a demand curve for Concertinas from an as yet fully informed audience...

Oh Yeah! I heard about that...

Why yes. I had to ask myself "Oh thanks, how did you know". I also had a band from Seattle come out to play at the Portside pub. when they set up their drums , keyboards and bass stick thing I said "Oh, no I'm providing the instruments tonight...", which left me with just the Melodica.
