Tommy Don't Go -

[Keep on Truckin]

I have a Stephanelli C/G 30 note concertina. I have a question which occurs in other songs I am sure. Using Bertram Levy's bookand looking at Tommy Don't Go page 28 - bar 19 I assume you hold the F note for three counts - for notes A D and C even though you draw for the C (R6)?

 

Hope this makes sense

 

thanks

Hi,

 

I often play this tune but haven't checked the book for a long time. It does appear that the F should be held for the 3 beats while playing the A D and C - all on the C row. The A and D are both pulled, but the C is pushed, which is not possible using the right hand button 6 if you want to hold the F. On the accompanying CD I don't hear the F being held, and it sounds fine to me.

 

Anyway, a nice little tune to get the left and right hand working together. Good Luck with it.

 

Rich.
