Patrick King Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hi everyone! Here's a link for a whole stack of Australian bush tunes in which are based in the home keys (C and G) or to use the useful skill of... cross-rowing. htpp://www.davidjohnson.id.au/music/tutors/concertina.htm . There is a lady who plays the concertina also and gives me conc. lessons. She rung me up to tell me about that site which she got out of some magazine. Hope you all like it!

Anglo-Irishman Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi everyone! Here's a link for a whole stack of Australian bush tunes in which are based in the home keys (C and G) or to use the useful skill of... cross-rowing. Hope you all like it! Pat Pat, I like it! I'm looking forward to trying out a few of the tunes later. The annotation by finger in standard position should work OK. (See thread on Anglo notation!) Waaay back about 1970, I bought an LP (you know, those black plastic things with a hole in the middle ) entitled "Click Go The Shears - Songs of Australia" by William Clauson. All songs, as the title implies, but there is quite a bit of concertina in the accompaniments. I thoroughly enjoyed the LP, and a couple of the songs have been in my repertoire ever since. It'll be interesting to hear the old recordings when they are up on teh site. Thanks for the heads-up, Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the beginner Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Very pretty melodies all on that site. I have made .midi files of each. My personal favourite (within my current ability): "Stringybark Tree", raised an octave is very sweet and fits perfectly on the right hand of a 40-key Wheatstone.
