Morris tune

[Alan Day]

It's some time since I posted a tune so here is a little Morris Music

It is "Jockey to the fair"

I enjoyed that tune. Since I am new, would you please give me a sentence or two about the type of concertina?

 

Thanks

[Alan Day]

This is played on a Jeffries CG Anglo

The tune is played on both rows. I use a few accidentals to smooth it out a bit but it can be played on a standard twenty button Anglo.

Just listened to it again and I know why I did not post it before as my foot stamping is a bit loud.

Lovely, Alan! Another inspiration as I get back to re-learning the concertina!

[Alan Day]

Thanks Allison this is on the CG with Constant Billy as requested and a Chocolate Rabbit.

Lots of music that I have posted here all together.

Another example of your wonderful and wonderfully effortless playing, Al. You make it sound so easy. You really manage to bring the tune to life. How do you do it? Just a tad envious here, even though I don't play the anglo.

Thanks Chris

Well in August I celebrate 40 Years playing my concertina

A milestone that may have a bit to do with it.

40 years? Gosh. Practice makes perfect, then. Glad it's a milestone rather than a millstone! Makes me feel like a raw beginner. Congrats in advance, Al.

Very nice. I happened to be trying this tune today when I stumbled on your posting. Much nicer than the boring little um-pah I was doing with it. I especially like the low CBAG accompaniment at the very start.

Hi alan

That was very nice. I note it was in C on a C/G.

 

If you were playing with other Morris musicians who often have D/G melodeons and want it in G, would you go onto a G/D Anglo?

 

I can play it across both ends and rows on the C/G in G to avoid it getting too squeaky on the G row RHS but the chords and accompaniment are not as rich as yours in key of C where the LHS chords , RHS melody type approach is easier.

 

 

What do most Anglo players, playing for Morris with other instruments use -C/G or G/D?

I play a G/D, and about 90% of the dance sets for our side are in G or D, with an occaisional foray into a minor key just to screw me up! Most (possibly all) of the Morris side players I've met here in Ontario also play G/D instruments.

[Alan Day]

You are correct Michael I am playing this on my CG box.(Just running up the scale from C row to the G row and back again)

I have only switched to the CG because so many have CG boxes

I can run you one off on the GD Bill if you wish just let me know.

Most of the sessions I go to are GD ones except last night when they were in A, E# and F also

I listened to a number.
