Anyone on this site going to be at the North East Squeeze-In this coming weekend?

 

i am.

I wish.

 

But a major Morris ale in Charlottesville, Va. will have me traveling in the opposite direction. It'll be fun - but I'll really miss NESI

I'd kind of like to be there, but, not this year, again. I will, however, be hearing some concertinas, at least for a short while on Saturday. I'm going to head north to the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival in New Hampshire. (It's a much shorter drive, for me! :wacko: )

 

I'd say, 'Too bad they're both on the same weekend,' but in my case that doesn't matter much, as I am not able to get over to the western edge of my fine home-state of Massachusetts, this weekend, anyway.

I'll be going for the first time, which makes sense as I'm essentially a rank beginner with the concertina.

 

For those who have attended in the past, I know that bringing other instruments is encouraged, but what about sales of non-free reed instruments? I've got a small collection of inexpensive instruments that I no longer use that I would love to get off the shelf. Anything from an old 5-string Harmony Bakelite Banjo to a Xaphoon that my wife thought I would be interested in. Should I bother bringing these for the sale table, or is the group so free reed centered that it would be a waste of time?

 

Thanks

I bet you'll sell all of them. These folks love new experiments! Have fun, I can't make it this year.

Well, I was there. Sorry for the tardiness, but I've been off concertina.net a few weeks.

 

It was great to meet Randy, Patrick, and Sarah (MildredEstelle), all familiar names from concertina.net but new to the Squeeze-In.

Likewise, David. What a pleasure to meet so many wonderful people -- not to mention listen, talk, learn, sing and occasionally squeeze out a few notes myself. An astonishing weekend. I have much to work on.

 

And right now -- on to the tune of the month for october!
