Mark Evans Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Lions, Tigers and Bears....Oh my! Lions, Tigers and Bears...Oh my! Althought, I can just hear Alison getting down with some Zydeco, C'est bon ça!
snoop Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Oh My God ! A left handed accordion player. Not many of them around anymore. Do you play the concertina left handed also? not many of them around either. LOL
Steve the beginner Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 How's this for infidelity? Turning over the squeezebox for an octopus! (Actually she's the other way around, this [now abandoned] skirling banshee was turned over for the squeezebox)
Animaterra Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 Oh My God ! A left handed accordion player. Not many of them around anymore. Well, actually, that must be a photo taken in the mirror! Although I am indeed a leftie, I have been playing the thing in the traditional manner. And I must confess, I'm having fun! Between my struggles with concertina and piano, this seems to draw on my strengths with each. I can just hear Alison getting down with some Zydeco, C'est bon ça! Peut-être plus tard, Mark! For now, it's mostly simple contra dance and morris melodies in s-l-o-w m-o. Laissez-les bon temps rouller!
Dave Rogers Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Although I am indeed a leftie, I have been playing the thing in the traditional manner. I'm a leftie too, and although I play guitar and fiddle left-handed, it seems entirely natural to play concertina and melodeon right-handed. With all the instruments, it's my right hand that's actually fingering the notes of the melody most of the time. Does that make sense to any other lefties out there?
