Michael Leitch-Devlin Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Mine is a picture of Santa I found somewhere on-line, Â It looks just like me so I grabbed it. (and edited it to evade copyright problems, so there ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Lud Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I just searched 'concertina player' on Google and, as I have dark curly hair, chose this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I see that I have changed my avatar since I started this topic - now it is a quick sketch of an anglo which I did as a logo for the Arran Concertina Event. I don't consider myself able to draw at all and was amazed to turn out something which I consider reproducible! Samantha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Leitch-Devlin Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) New avatar for me, taken from the pub sign at the front of "The Jolly Sailor" pub in Poole, Dorset, England. Â (That's England, UK... just off the coast of Europe, not England, New... quite a long way off the coast of Europe.)

jdms Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 A family friend, knowing my interest in concertinas (but not, I think, being entirely clear on what they look like) gave me this fellow. My iffy photography skills and avatar size have conspired to make him not very clear--it's a carved wooden figure in medieval garb playing a melodeon-like instrument (anachronistic and not something I actually play, but it'll do).

Steve Mansfield Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 It's me, in my full regalia for The Powderkegs border morris, playing my soprano rauschpfeife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I've just changed my avatar too, after several years of Mr Tomato Head. Â The new one is a scan of a tile we bought in a tile shop in Sidmouth. We have a second matching tile of a frog playing fiddle. So this frog's for me, the other one's for my partner Anne.

A keyboard, a tiny set of upright organ pipes in the middle and the other hand working the bellows behind them? Completely period for your mediaeval fellow.

Completely period for your mediaeval fellow.  That would make sense, but no--it's definitely accordion-shaped. It may even be meant as a PA, but the carving is, erm, impressionistic enough that I have enough leeway to declare it a melodeon.  jdms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david fabre Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 My avatar is the "Shadok Sailor". Â I'm afraid explaining to non-french what is a shadok is just as impossible as for you rosbifs to explain me the rules of Mornington Crescent Game. Â For those who really want to know (and who know a little french) : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marin_Shadok http://www.lesshadoks.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Timson Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) On the other hand, it's just possible that the Shadoks and their mortal enemies the Gibis made it on to English television too. Even more unlikely that this was in 1973 and vanishingly implausable that the series of 5 minute gems was narrated by Robert Robinson and has stayed in my memory ever since. But stranger things have happened ... Â Chris Edited May 4, 2009 by Chris Timson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also discovered that there is a wikipedia page in english : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Shadoks  On the other hand I'm pretty sure that mornington crescent NEVER showed up on french TV.
