Internet Video Jukebox 12 with Paul Walker

September 2017

Alexander Prince (concertina) – Jackanapes Polka) a masterful performance on 78 rpm.(1915).

Gratefully received from from CW reader Steve Taggart:

(See last CW Tune Supplement).”Here called “Modern Times” but, as l understand it, that was the title of the 1936 Chaplin film, for the sound-track of which Charlie, an excellent musician and apparently taking inspiration from Puccini’s opera “Tosca”, had originally composed his song “Smile”. Also two performances of this song, both played by English-concertina-playing clowns, one for a circus audience, the other to a somewhat less-than-interested flock of ducks!”

John Kirkpatrick: That Great Christmas Pud John gave a great Shropshire Tunes worshop & later a concert on the day of the ICA AGM, kindly hosted by the East Midlands concertina group.

Dlamini – Imfene (Pondo Concertina) (Plastik 940). Excellent Roots music from, I think, Eastern Cape South Africa.

Noel Hill – The Hearty Bucks of Oranmore. I hadn’t realised until Bill Crossland put me right, that it was Noel Hill who developed the cross-row way of playing an Anglo. Which enabled him to play in a wider range of keys than most push-pull players. Smooth as a Bailey’s!
