DaveM Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I had seen this back in the 80's, but only just re-watched it today. A concertina makes an appearance in the latter part. The Big Snit: https://youtu.be/p1S5pAF1YYA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Franch Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) It would be great, even without the concertina! Anglo players might disagree, but it's nice to see a cartoon character look like he's really playing a concertina. (They never seem to play ECs!)

DaveM Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Another Canada film board cartoon: The Blackfly Song (i suspect that the music is an accordion, but the visuals are of a concertina). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 And another Canada Board Cartoon Log Driver's Waltz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Oh yes, one of my favourite songs. Anna McGarrigle is actually playing a button accordion, but what the heck. Log driving used to be a profitable, and very dangerous, profession in Eastern Ontario and Quebec. I met a guy who told me that his family fortune was established by a distant forbear who drove a single log from the hinterland to Montreal where it was bought by the British navy as a mast for a ship of the line. Log drivers wouldn't lie, would they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Log drivers wouldn't lie, would they? I don’t know... Apparently they’re not above discarding used concertinas into the river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 They're soo in the money, that they can just toss them aside without a care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
