Snow concertina

[LDT]

I decided to use the snow. I know the buttons aren't exactly correct but I didn't have enough pennies

You can play some nice music on a 20 penny Anglo. Alternatively, you could borrow a few extra keys from your one row melodeon, or perhaps do a bit of busking!

 

Very good; obviously braver than me, over the weekend.

Loose change. Good name for a tune.

 

Looks like a face on the left hands side of the tina. In the snow. Ghost of Kimber?

Which face are you referring to. Here in Florida, mushrooms grow year round.

Oh? and is it a coincidence the number 21 is so prominent on that same side a littla above center?

WEIRD!!

LDT, if your snow-'tina actually starts playing, let us know!

 

I have been wondering, lately, if I have a 'snow ghost,' ha ha(?)...

 

This year, my giant windchime 'happened' to play the first 11-note phrase of Jingle Bells, in perfect time, and perfectly timed -- I had just arrived within earshot, at my door and digging out my keys, when it played the song. Believe me, that gave me something to muse over all day.

 

And, last winter, I happened to get some photos of a snowman face, a sculpture that looked so authentic it took me a while to figure out that it hadn't actually been made by some human artist. I just dug out the pics again and posted them at my site,

http://twitpic.com/photos/bellowbelle (wanted to upload them here but I am using my little phone).

 

Snow and wind, anyway. Stuff to keep us from going over-the-snowbank in the winter. Or, to make us go, so we don't care anymore that it's so cold...

What songs could be played on such an instrument?

 

White Christmas - Bing Crosby

Cold as ice - Foreigner

Snowbird - Anne Murray

Snowblind - Styx

Winter Wonderland - Johnny Mathis

Let it snow - Vaughn Monroe

Snowbound - Genesis

Probably anything from the Beatles' white album.

 

And for Pete's sake, don't play:

 

Fire - Jimi Hendrix

Sunshine on my shoulder - Bob Denver

Sunshine superman - Donovan

Here comes the sun - Beatles

Summertime - Janis Joplin

Summer in the city - The Lovin' Spoonful

Summer love - Sherbet

Fire and Rain - James Taylor

Seasons in the sun - Terry Jacks

Heatwave - Martha and The Vandellas

Or anything by the Red Hot Chilipeppers.
