Month? What Month?! It's Just A Tune.

I've set aside some time this weekend to do this, and now I've done it.

Very nice! Some inspirational stuff for me there.

[David Barnert]

Thank you, Patrick.

 

And what's happening in measures 4 and 12 (or the latter halves of 2 and 6, depending on whether you hear it in 2 or in 4) of the B section?

Lovely playing with a nice lilt and good choice of chord notes. I "hear" the tune much slower and have found at the tempo I hear it doesn't seem to be very suited to concertina. But you make a strong case for both the tempo and the fit with the instrument. Thanks for stretching me.

What month? Next month... I hope. I'll be travelling today and tomorrow, and then this month is over. (And still more travelling before I can attempt to record anything.)

 

Good on you, David, for starting (continuing?) this.

Really nice. Shows off the capabilities of the duet. More of a bounce than most versions I"ve heard - I like that a lot.

Well, in 4 and 12 there is a run from the 2nd down to the preceding 5th followed by a jump up to the 4th.

The latter half of 2 also starts on a 2nd and ends on a 4th, but that does not echo in 6...

I seem to be missing whatever you are trying to help me see. Enlightenment please?

It's the runs from 2 to 5. In music, 2 is to 5 as 5 is to 1. So what am I doing with my left hand? Playing an A major chord (with a C# that's not in the key of G). Secondary dominant, 5 of 5. We've been here before...
