dmksails Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I just heard a version of this old song done by The Murphy Beds. I'm wondering how this would sound with concertina accompaniment. Does anyone know of a video of this song being played on an anglo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah Velleman Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 It occurs to me that it would make a weirdly good polka, but that's probably not what you had in mind 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Schulteis Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Thanks for pointing me toward this song. It's lovely. I'm afraid I can't help with finding an existing recording of it on concertina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Schulteis Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 It strikes me that this tune has a lot in common with "The Parting Glass", so that might be another place to look for inspiration. For example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What goes around comes around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
