LateToTheGame Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 For some reason this link only played without sound, even though my speakers were turned up. Perhaps that's a good thing? HaHa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to get sound. Sounded to me like an accordion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LateToTheGame Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Yes. I had my earphones plugged in and didn't notice. HaHa. This reminded me of an old Lawrence Welk show my local PBS station aired recently. It was in their black and white days. The theme was "France" and the fellow who usually plays the accordion was playing a very passable French tune on a 30 button anglo while strolling around the stage. The skill set is not an easy transfer so he put the time in to learn it. I have no idea why those connected in my head, but it is nice to see. I am constantly asked, "What's that?" When I play.

Do they mean the instrument, the tune, the type of music, or are they wondering whether it's even "music" at all, by "modern" standards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LateToTheGame Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 HaHa, They are asking about that little wooden accordion I am playing. I have also been asked, "Is that a clarinet?" after playing the wooden flute. (Which I am much better at having put in a few more decades.) There is something attention getting about the concertina though. I have sat in sessions playing flute well alongside very good players in a crowded bar, only to have the group as a whole more or less ignored. But I've pulled out the concertina and run through a rather dodgy set of Comb Your Hair and Curl It and The Foxhunters played as hop jigs, while my session mates were hitting them as slip jigs only to get everyone to stop dead in their tracks and reward us with a round of applause.
