Alan Day Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Many years ago at the Black Horse Sing around a person sat sketching all night. He showed me the pictures at the end of the evening and were musicians that were playing that night. He said they were for a statue to be built in Reigate Surrey and at last I have taken a photo of it. Many of you will see the likeness of myself in this photo(which is me). Al
Randy Stein Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Alan, Do you mind if I send this in for the photo gallery of the English Concertina site? Or could you. Wonderful rss

Wonderful rss Thanks Randy I am happy for you to post it on the English Site, I am not a member (I think)so it would be easier if you did it. If you want the other side which includes Fiddle and Tambourine just Email me and I will send it over. Al
Ralph Jordan Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Hey Alan I always thought that you played better stoned! Ralph

Al The pedant in me, assumes that it must be an Anglo that the stone figure is holding (difficult to tell from the angle of the photo), so perhaps it shouldn't be posted on the English concertina site but the Anglo one?

Hey, I wonder if those guys were actually playing ROCK Music, when the artist captured their images for this? Cheers Dick
Chris Timson Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 For those of you who haven't met Alan, can I just tell you this is a stunningly accurate likeness ... Chris

Alan Day Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Definitely Folk Music, on the other sides (sorry I could not post them, I have run out of space) There is a Banjo player, A Tambourine player, A flautist (her on the top)and a violinist. The Blackhorse Sing around was at Nuthurst in Sussex, not too far from Horsham and the artist tuned up there one night and sketched all these figures.(About mid sixties) Al Edited March 29, 2010 by Alan Day

Must be from trying to tap your foot and the thigh keeps lifting off :lol:
LDT Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Intresting thought....if in a hundred years time people will point at the statue and say I wonder who they were?
tombilly Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I suppose an interesting idea - to meld several musicians into one statue. Sorta gets at the idea of the music from each making up the whole etc.
Chris Drinkwater Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Well, the musicians may be stoned now. Let's hope they weren't back then! Chris

Irene S. Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Footloose and fancyfree, eh Al? Or should that be footfree and fancy ....oh well.....

JimLucas Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Rock Solid Man !!Al Seems a bit stiff, if you ask me. Oh, right. You didn't.
