Warren Fahey Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I have just upgraded my Australian Folklore Unit website. Still have some correcting and heaps of material to add but I have just uploaded an entire section of rare concertina photographs, cartoons etc to delight you. http://dynamic.psgahlout.info/warrenfahey/concertina-photography-cartoon-gallery/ There's also sections on the concertina and melodeon in Australia plus a story on John Stanley 'The Concertina Doctor' who guaranteed his reworked Lachenal anglos (under his own name) were louder for accompanying dancing! There's lots more concertina history to come so sign up for my occasional newsletter. Enjoy the image gallery.

Warren Fahey Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Oh, to make it easy for the other sections of 'The Big Squeeze' here's the site address for the free reed section http://dynamic.psgahlout.info/warrenfahey/enter-the-collection/the-collection-m-z/musical-instruments-in-the-australian-tradition/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Cartoonists invariably find multiple-fold Concertinas irresistible. They don't have to play them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansiRowe Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hi Warren I can't seem to be able to scroll the pages on your website… I registered but still no luck. I can open each section and choose from the pop-down menus but the pages will only scroll fractions at a time, hardly move… not sure what the problem is. Have any other members had this problem…? Cheers, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Fahey Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 John....... it is a brand new site and I am still testing functionality but I just tried the above link and absolutely no problems scrolling down. Have another go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_holden Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 There does seem to be something very odd going on with the scrolling. Using the cursor up and down keys it scrolls about four times as far as usual for each key press. Using the trackpad it scrolls at about a quarter of the normal rate unless I scroll very fast in which case it suddenly jerks forward and skips past a lot of stuff. The space bar and the scroll bar both behave normally. I'm using Safari 6.1.6 on a Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_holden Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Brilliant collection of images, BTW. I have a friend who will love to see these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansiRowe Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 "There does seem to be something very odd going on with the scrolling" Yes, I'm using a Mac as well Alex… found that the up & down arrows work on the keyboard but still can't scroll at all using the track pad, or, as you say, tiny little jumps… what I've seen looks amazing though Warren… an incredible collection, well done!

Warren Fahey Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Friends. Here is a better link to the image page - apologies if the previous one was wonky .. I have now successfully migrated the site over to WordPress including the Big Squeeze section on concertina history. More to come.....

Chris Ghent Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Not sure why you would be describing the fourth one down as an English Warren..? Looks like an Anglo to me. Mind you, the man third from left looks like he is holding a small video camera... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelly0312 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Thank-you Daniel. uh-da, I should have thought that Jody would have his own website and they would be there. I surely enjoy both of these reference collections! Thanks to Warren too!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
