Henk van Aalten Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I'd better start looking for some other Californian tunes now I'm here. Paul How about some nostalgic California Dreaming Henk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyBits Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hey, how did you know I drove that way? I am happy to be in Mass. or wherever you put me, as long as I can keep playing concertina! Ken, PLEASE tell me that you don't play while driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Coles Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Ken, PLEASE tell me that you don't play while driving. No, I'm not that busy yet. But Dirk Powell tells how when he first started Cajun accordion, he was so obsessed that he played while driving a car! Concertinist Ian Robb does a nice version of "Home in Pasadena" on one of his CDs (sans concertina, I believe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Day Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I sold a half size concertina to a Aeroplane fanatic and he told me that he played it whilst driving his car and steered with his knees .David who I have not seen in years was a member of the Popular Flying association and he owned a Tiger Moth.I live fairly near to Redhill Aerodrome and I heard a plane that sounded in major trouble,looking up there was David flying his Tiger Moth upside down on a reverse loop and the spluttering was fuel starvation to the engine,at the top of the loop he put it into a spin and pulled out near to the ground ,an absolute nutcase but what a character.

Helen Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Ah well, Al, which just goes to prove that many of us would not pass a mental health status exam. But then, music keeps us sane. Then again if we are playing concertina while we are using machinery ... Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 ...which just goes to prove that many of us would not pass a mental health status exam. Here are a couple of (unattributed) quotes from among those I've collected over time: I may be crazy, but I'm good at it. I'm out of my mind, but please leave a message. ........

Guernsey Pete Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Put me down as an English player ( player being an optimistic term ) in North London. Does that skew the perceived/believed English/english/British statistic ? GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
