David Barnert Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 And by the way, the author, @Dan Worrall is a member of concertina.net. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgana Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 I bought a printed copy of this wonderful book (l always prefer a printed copy to an ebook). @Dan Worrall really knows to turn a phrase, the book is great reading and l am having trouble putting it down! So a big thanks to Dan for this excellent and very enjoyable book. Highly recommended! I have his book on Chris Droney sitting on the shelf to read next! 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiposx Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Has anyone bought the digital download via the link in the original post? I haven’t bought from Gumroad.com before. As it uses bank card details I am careful. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah Velleman Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I ordered one last year and got it no problem. He had to print them custom, I guess he doesn't keep any in stock, so that took a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah Velleman Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Oh, never mind, I got mine as a CD and not as a download. I wish I'd known the download was an option, it would have been much more convenient — I had to ask around for a bit to find a friend who still owned a CD drive.

I’m always very happy when someone enjoys my work. Keep an eye out later this year for my new book on William Kimber, another iconic player and a fascinating person. It’s a complete revision and extension of my 2005 book on him. Back to House Dance, is old time bush dancing still going strong in the rural Aussie outback? I really enjoyed experiencing it when I visited there 15 years ago with the late Peter Ellis, who was an amazing Anglo player and dance historian.

Yes still going strong I am very much looking forward to the Chris Droney book. My only crit with that one is that it doesn't sit flat on the music stand. So I hope you don't mind, I bought a second copy and rebound it with comb binding so it now sits flat. I normally hate to alter my books, but I know this one will get a lot of use! I have your Anglo-German concertina social history books on my wish list and I'll definitely look out for your new one later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roo boy Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 My wife just bought me this book for my birthday. The hard copy book has q-code you can scan to listen to the audio, rather than the cd. Bush dancing is still strong here in the Aussie bush, although concertinas have made way to fiddles and banjos etc for the most part. Thanks to Dan, the concertina may make a comeback. The book is a brilliant resource. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digver Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I bought the digital booklet earlier today and extracted the zip file. Unfortunately I've had no success viewing the files on an Android phone and I'm not really interested in viewing them on the laptop computer, though it would be simple to do. I wonder how directly the html formating could be converted to a viewable epub? I'll give it a try, but not tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but I would imagine it would be the audio files to accompany the book/text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is effectively the CD Rom with an index html files that leads to a series of other html documents, all with embedded links to the sound and files.

digver Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Yes, the zip file is as @Morgana wrote, its a file hierarchy of html files with links to the images and audio files. I'll get it figured out but it will have to wait till I can get to it. Or I might be lazy and just order a copy of the printed book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
