david_boveri Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 congrats on being generic! let's all make sure to propagate the term. can i be called a linotist, even though i play a replica linota? i dont think wally would appreciate it if i called myself a carrollist.... but then again, i can call myself a "carroller" once a year, and no one can say anything against me, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbones Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Am I going to sleep in a civilized world now? Concertina.net IS a civilised world. Please take a nap if necessary, but do not go to sleep for long, as we value your contributions!! Don't fall asleep on one of those red eye British Airways flights. You might miss your transfer and end up in one of those uncivilized western countrys. Or you might slip off the tail. Wait! I think there's somebody out on the wing.

saguaro_squeezer Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I'd love to see what a Crane driver is in German. I hope it's a really LONG word! Cheers, Rod in Tucson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael sam wild Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I was at a party last weekend and someone asked about my concertina. I said it was a crane duet and he said "I've only met three crane drivers face to face". I explained I was the original Crane Driver, but it seems I've become a generic term for someone who plays the Crane. I'm sort of pleased by that, I'd like to take it as a compliment. Andrew McKay I've become a geriatric term for a Jeffries Anglo player, not sure it's complimentary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
