Pete Dunk Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) I started to abc the first tune from this book and realised it would take an incredibly long time! Here's a link to the scans of the front cover and all 24 pages, the back cover is missing. If anyone would like a particular piece transcribing to abc post a request in this thread and I'll do my best to oblige. Selected Favourite Melodies for the English Concertina Olio arranged by Carl Liebe Enjoy, (and do let me know that the link works (or not) please!) Edit: the link above now works but this gives you a slideshow of the whole book !! Here's a PDF of the whole book Edited February 3, 2013 by tallship
John Wild Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Hi Pete the link leads to a Dropbox signin page which needs a login name and password regards John
Wolf Molkentin Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Having created a new account, "they" informed me that there's no such folder...
Ransom Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Yeah, creating an account is not what you're supposed to do here. He's posted the internal link to the folder, not the public-facing link. Tallship needs to generate a public link and post that for us.
Pete Dunk Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 Ack! Sorry all, I'll work on it tomorrow after I've spent three pleasurable hours playing concertina. Lucky me!
Dirge Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 What's the 'olio' bit mean? (am I being dense? Is it obvious?)
JimLucas Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 What's the 'olio' bit mean? (am I being dense? Is it obvious?) A varied mixture. See here, especially definition 4.
Pete Dunk Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Before I set off to have a few hours playing concertina with a large group of players I have yet to meet (Yippee!) I'll leave you with links to get you to the first few pages - I have a feeling that if you edit the link to the next page number up to 24 you'll get to see them all. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44657832/English%20Concertina%20Olio/Cover.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44657832/English%20Concertina%20Olio/Page%2001.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44657832/English%20Concertina%20Olio/Page%2002.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44657832/English%20Concertina%20Olio/Page%2003.jpg http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44657832/English%20Concertina%20Olio/Page%2004.jpg Again please let me know if these links work

Again please let me know if these links work Yes, they are working now - up to 24, as you suggested - but page #9 is missing. Thank you again for sharing...!
Dirge Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 What's the 'olio' bit mean? (am I being dense? Is it obvious?) A varied mixture. See here, especially definition 4. Thanks for that Jim; not sure definition 5 might not be closer. "5. Theater . a. a specialty act performed downstage while the upstage set is changed. b. a performance, as a musical number, presented between scenes or acts. c. drop scene ( def 1 ) . d. a program of variety acts, especially the second half of a minstrel show. " I haven't seen if the music fits! What a strange word.
Dirge Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Oh they look fun. Thanks Pete, I shall enjoy having a better look tomorrow. Enjoy your day out. Edited February 3, 2013 by Dirge
Randy Stein Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Sorry to be such a ludite, but how do I get the rest of the pages? rss Nevermind...figured it out. Edited February 3, 2013 by Randy Stein
Wolf Molkentin Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Sorry to be such a ludite, but how do I get the rest of the pages? rss You may, as suggested bei Pete, edit the links, i.e.: copy them to a text editor and change the page number - or, as I did, change the page number directly at the end of your browser's command line... I suggest you'll start with the second link as it includes the first page number.
David Barnert Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 You may, as suggested bei Pete, edit the links, i.e.: copy them to a text editor and change the page number - or, as I did, change the page number directly at the end of your browser's command line... I suggest you'll start with the second link as it includes the first page number. Or even use a spreadsheet to generate the whole series quickly.
Pete Dunk Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Page 9 is there now, it was there all the time actually but I'd forgotten to put the leading 0 in the page name!
Pete Dunk Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 I've just edited the link in the first post of the thread, can someone please tell me if it works now?

Pete Dunk Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 It works fine, but this link might work better: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6w3kdbq31pm0s3e/HdOsxf2o9u/English%20Concertina%20Olio?lst#f:Cover.jpg *Gawps* how did you work that one out?
