John Wild Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I suppose many of us wish we had started playing much younger? Birthday 24 August 2006 Location No Information Interests I play an Anglo G/D (originally Ab) Wheatstone with rosewood ends dated 1926 and a '50's' Aeola 40 key C/G in an accompaniment style in the home keys. I enjoy mostly English tunes, but am not averse to the odd Irish melody! My piccie is dated 1973 when I owned a Crabb 40 key Anglo and played for Aldbury Morris, but hard times forced the sale of that instrument and I was concertinaless for 20 years. Professionally I am a canoe coach and run an outdoor centre. All this at one year old!! Wow! Welcome, welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 But then again his join date is 11-September 06. That would have put him at a month and a half old when he joined. Now that's a real achievement. Didn't understand because in the Eastern US, we're a coupla hours behind on the date change. Happy Birthday Thanks Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_boveri Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) i have a student much younger than that. at 4 months old, he's just able to hold onto the palm rests. in a couple of years, he might be able to reach one of the keys!

I thought 31 march 1949 had something to do with the maths. Sorry Chas Edited August 25, 2007 by fidjit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterT Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I would hope I'm in as good a shape. If he had been born on 1st April, maybe there would have been a feint whiff of rodent. He's not the guy who's hoping to run next year's London Marathon, is he? Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
