bellowbelle Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 (edited) ...So, Froggie has a new friend, 'Rocky Jake' a.k.a. 'Bun-Bun.' UM...except, of course, that's not really a concertina. Oh well. PRETEND. I guess it's actually....a....dunno. Edited September 12, 2005 by bellowbelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Evans Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 What a lovely rabbit Wendy. I can only offer photographic proof of my dog Obi's tolerance of my concertina playing. When everyone is home I often retreat to the bedroom to play. Obi spends most of his day there and only opens an eye when I arrive with box in hand. He doesn't get off the bed as I start playing.

So, that's what I'll call it. I think he's from Amherst, possibly has been to the Button Box (though, they've moved to Sunderland, nearby).

cnrobinson Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Frogs and concertinas? Never! What do the French know of these things. (Though I did find one in a music shop in Paris once, but noone could play it except me). Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellowbelle Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 ................What do the French know of these things.......................... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Duh...uh, not sure, but, French fries can be of the style they call 'concertina cut.' (...Hmm, those french fries would make good bellows, yes, in a food sculpture!) Yeah, long day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 ...French fries can be of the style they call 'concertina cut.'<{POST_SNAPBACK}> But those concertina cut "French fries" (surely the French call them something else) have a square cross-section to the "bellows", which would make them "German" in design. (Their design pre-dates Herrington's square anglos.) Maybe they should be renamed "EU fries"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDF Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Iwasn't sure how to insert this picture so I think it is attatched.I've found some birds also find the concertina attractive.Although I'm sure someone will have a humourous caption for this picture.I found it difficult to think of one that was PC.
