One of the sets I play is all WWI tunes. One of which is Lilly Marlene. I bet that is what this soldier is playing.

The guy with the machine gun seems to be aiming for him. :o :ph34r:

 

It looks to me like he is aiming at the other instrument parked on the window ledge, possibly a melodeon?

 

The "instrument" on the ledge appears to be a set of German mess-tins, the "machine gun" is actually a device for assembling loose ammunition into linked belts for use in machine guns. At least it's right side up!

The ship captain in Prometheus, in theaters now, plays what appears to be a very nice English.

 

 

Yup, and he claims it belonged to Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young. I wonder if Stills ever really owned one. It would be a bizarre thing to make up, but I can't find any reference to him playing one.

I'm embarrassed to say that I saw an anglo being pumped (couldn't say played) in Anne of Green Gables (193?) film the other day

i'm also embarrassed that I couldn't spell embarrassed so I had to look embarrassed up in the dictionarysad.gif

Miniature EC spotted today in a world war two film "The password is courage". Brittish film about prisoners of war, with Dirk Bogarde. Channel Four ,Televison.

About half an hour into the film is a concert scene with three musicians and in the centre is the player of the Miniature,and he is playing it. I think it could be Tommy Elliot ?

 

Several other good scenes with the Miniature but no cast of actors at the end....

I caught "The Admirable Crighton" last night, starring Kenneth More as the title character.

A framing scene has a foppish dandy manipulating the bellows of an unidentified concertina (not playing...God forbid-that was a PA!) for a group of fat cats aboard ship.

The ship immediately sank.

Draw your own conclusions dry.gif

 

Fun movie, tho.

 

Cheers, RB
