FatBellows Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Very, Very Nice! And extra points because it's one that I'm familiar with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirge Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Excellent. Nice arrangement too. Thanks for that. It's difficult to see; is this more proof that you can play a full accompaniment on an English? (Not that I've ever believed otherwise, incidentally.) Great stuff.

Geoff Wooff Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Ah! With the improved quality we can now see how wonderfully neat and clean your house is. But really it is much easier to see how you are really getting into these pieces, using your breathing and mouthing the words(?) and thus getting the emotion into your music. Wonderfull ! Geoff.

Chris Drinkwater Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 "Play it, Sam!" Absolutely delightful. I second Geoff's comments. More, please! BTW, what make and model of EC are you playing? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, what make and model of EC are you playing? Chris Dear Chris, Thank you (and all) for the good words. I'm playing a Wheatstone model 2E treble range English Concertina, 48 keys from G below middle C to C, 6-fold bellows. I believe its construction was in the mid 1920's. Again, much thanks to all for taking the time to watch, listen and comment. Dick Edited April 17, 2011 by Concertina Ballads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was inspired to download a score for "As time goes by"( a simple piano version) but it does not appear to be as good as your setting Dick. best regards, Geoff.

That arrangement and others were given to me as a personal gift by my long-time music coach and dear friend before his passing. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
