Hap-py New Year


Recommended Posts

A Happy New Year to you all!

 

While sitting alone in my kitchen this afternoon,

I got the idea of recording a short tune (for your perusal? ;) ):

 

 

It is composed by a man named Brendan McGlinchey

in the 70s and I picked it up from the playing of

Sharon O'Leary in one of the Bloom of Youth-series on RTE.

 

And a very apt title for a player sitting alone in a kitchen...

 

I have set the MP3 quality to an acceptable minimum, to keep

the file size down, hence the slight "playing under water" effect.

Splendid Isolation eh Henrik!

 

That described my situation last night, as the only sober person at the New Year Party!

 

I was just about the only person who had to drive home, & the temp was -3.

 

Nice playing, & a tasty tune!

 

By the way, how do you know that's what a Concertina sounds like under water? ......................

 

Cheers

Dick

Lovely playing, Henrik -- thanks! A cool tune to work on for the new year. I've heard Lunasa play it. Notation is available here.

Nice playing Henrik, I noticed on English International that you are one of the players who can easily demonstrate that the claims that ITM can only be played properly on an anglo is utter tosh.

 

Does the label on the kitchen table concertina really say 'The Slide Engine'? What a grand name for a 'tina.

I suspect that the very idea of 'played properly' may be called tosh by some.
