LDT Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 In the famous "Lady and the Tramp" scene where they're eating spaghetti, the waiter is in the background playing "La Bella Notte" on the concertina. In "Mary Poppins" doesn't Bert play the concertina when we first meet him (the one-man-band scene)? Are you dead sure about the waiter (the proprietor)? I have a strong feeling it was piano accordion. I thought the chef was playing a melodeon? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCISixwMuQA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbones Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I think my avatar speeks for itself. It's an original concept drawing for the Pirates of the Carribean ride. And here's something from Peter Pan. Didn't someone mention a fairy above? No, I guess that was a ferry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Jordan Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hi All Bet you didn't know that Bing Crosby played the Anglo? At the end of one his films (Road to ??? perhaps) he is sitting on the back of a wild west wagon with his true love, squeezing away like billy-o, accompanying himself singing "True Love". Absolutely amazing that he can make the Anglo sound just like a Piano Accordion with full Orchestral Accompaniment....What aguy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 In the famous "Lady and the Tramp" scene where they're eating spaghetti, the waiter is in the background playing "La Bella Notte" on the concertina. Are you dead sure about the waiter (the proprietor)? I have a strong feeling it was piano accordion. I thought the chef was playing a melodeon? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCISixwMuQA Looks like the chef is playing a mandolin, and the waiter/proprietor has a melodeon. In "Mary Poppins" doesn't Bert play the concertina when we first meet him (the one-man-band scene)? That one looks like a green-celluloid 20-key Scholer: There's also a concertina at the beginning of Me Ole Bamboo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a boat with Grace Kelly. http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php...ost&p=82566 Now if you were to suggest Bob Hope in the movie Paleface where he sings "Buttons and Bows" to Jane Russell in the back of a wagon I wouldn't take that bet. I don't think it's a "Road to" movie though. At least he's moving his fingers. Thanks Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Müller Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 ...I thought the chef was playing a melodeon? ... Ha! You are right! Can't trust memory these days. At least I don't have to wait to Christmas... /Henrik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene S. Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I was watching the Aristocats on tv tonight, and saw the concertina playing cat ... and remembered this thread. I can see that the film is mentioned right at the start of the thread, but just in case it's of interest, here's a link to the number in which that tina playing cat appears .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q5Hks2Kd8w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Müller Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 A good friend of mine bought this gem for a small amount... The strange thing is the background: a maypole - which is a very Swedish thing. So was it done in America, done in Sweden, or was the maypole added (clearly, the "PIP, pip" (sound) was added). My friend is richer now - /Henrik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Thanks, Leo - Amazing - how do you find this stuff (I mean the Swedish site)?! /Henrik Hi Henrik Just too much time with a misspent youth in a library looking up "stuff". We couldn't afford to do much, and it was free. I just consider the internet as a big library, only easier. And a long time curiosity about unanswered questions. It really didn't take much time to find an answer, and in most cases it's how I ask the question. Thanks Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
