Chris Timson Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 (edited) I see several Englishes from Hobgoblin on sale on eBay, for the first time, I believe. Their starting prices are, shall we say, breathtaking. Chris PS Paul and Ken, do you think we should have a separate forum for discussing eBay? It's not quite the buying-and-selling I suspect you originally had in mind, but I don't know where else to post this sort of thing.

Lester Bailey Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 (edited) And they had the pictures for the tenor and treble the wrong way round til some handsome, knowledgable contertina player poited it out. Modesty of course does not permit me to name him . Edited July 11, 2004 by Lester Bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the concept of me having a better half somewhat strange If you are refering to my lady wife, it was our 28th wedding aniversary yesterday and I took out to see some Morris danncing, what more could a girl wish for!

JimLucas Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 ...I took her out to see some Morris dancing, what more could a girl wish for! Than to be introduced to a whole bunch of hot, sweaty, younger (they are younger, right?) men? .... Not much, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 ...... When will you be posting pictures? Try here I meant the pictures from their visit to you. Still, in the photos you pointed us to, it's fun to see some familiar faces.. and kits. ... E.g., Jerry Epstein, on the right in this photo, is a member of my old team (New York's Greenwich Morris Men) and a concertina player (English system). This recorder player looks suspiciously familiar, too. Wheatstone, or Lachenal? Now he has a concertina! Who was asking about contra dance? Yet another concertina.

Dan Stener Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Lester, Congratulations to you and your "lady wife" on your 28th wedding anniversary! May you have 28 more years even better than the first. Be Well, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Still, in the photos you pointed us to, it's fun to see some familiar faces.. and kits.My goodness. Thank you. I hadn't seen these. This recorder player looks suspiciously familiar, too.Yes, that's me and my pond-scum green $5 Yamaha plastic recorder.Wheatstone, or Lachenal?Michael Siemon with the 'tina and me again on Pipe & Tabor.Now he has a concertina!Yes, a limited view of my Wheatstone Hayden Duet.Who was asking about contra dance?Me again, left foreground. These photos were taken Labor Day weekend, 2001 when I went to the Toronto Morris Ale as a guest musician with New World Sword from New York City. Despite the apparent expression on my face in some of these, it was a fine time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Besser Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 So how many Concertina.Netters will be at this year's Toronto Ale? All things being equal, I'll be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 These photos were taken Labor Day weekend, 2001.... Point of information for non-USAns: In the US, "Labor Day" is not May 1, but the first Monday in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiminca Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 These photos looked so familar I had to check which year I went (since I didn't see any of my team in the shots) Alas it was 2002. Toronto was a fun place, but I don't think my current team is going to pull it together this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 So how many Concertina.Netters will be at this year's Toronto Ale? All things being equal, I'll be there.Alas, I will not. In fact, I had dinner tonight with two members of New World Sword (Bob and Ellie), but the team is inactive these days. If any team needs a musician at the Toronto Morris Ale, I'm available. Meanwhile, Jim B, why don't you come to the Northeast Squeeze-In? Point of information for non-USAns: In the US, "Labor Day" is not May 1, but the first Monday in September.Yes, it occurred to me as I was typing that it might not be clear, but at the same time, I was trying to avoid mentioning "September, 2001" as the Ale was just over a week before 9/11 and I didn't want to dredge up that imagery. Now I've done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We (Bluemont) are just barely going; injuries have been a problem. >Meanwhile, Jim B, why don't you come to the Northeast Squeeze-In? I may. I was there a few years back -- the 10th anniversary, I think-- but MOrris season has interfered with it since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I may. I was there a few years back -- the 10th anniversary, I think-- That must have been quite a few years back, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
