Let’s salute ‘Tina enthusiast Steve Taggart, who has excelled himself with a fascinating bundle of clips from the Internet- over to you Steve.

“Only had 31 views!
Let’s help to get that figure up just a little:- 2Many Buttons Perform (Back Home Again In) Indiana-Composed by James F. Hanley in 1917
Jim Besser – Baritone Anglo Concertina
Randy Stein – English Concertina

l hadn’t seen before.

“La Noyee” (The Night) by Yann Tiersen, played on Hayden duet:-

“Cotillion Des Marionelles Waltz” on a Jeffries Duet. A lively rendition by Kevin Holland

This one has most definitely not had enough views! [Paul, a correction to last posting.

Although that is exactly as written, it did look a bit odd to me].

Everyone else who plays this delightful tune calls it “Cotillion des Marionettes Waltz”.

Makes much more sense, to me, anyway.

O’Neill’s March’ taken from Cormac Begley’s #Courage2020 performance in Kylemore Abbey.

 Chevy Chase – Solo Maccann Duet Concertina-A nice version of the Northumbrian slow-air, on Macann Duet.- Eric Witherspoon
And don’t forget to stand rigidly to attention whilst playing it !

Here “The Squeezers” play one of my all-time favourite jazz songs, though l do personally prefer the Fred Read solo arrangement in the lCA library.

“Autumn Leaves”. – hope l haven’t sent you this before, but its only had 71 views since 2014, and l think it deserves a few more. From St. Elmo’s Coffee Pub on April 23rd, 2014. The Squeezers play “Autumn Leaves” [Randy Stein & chums I think]

And now some jolly, rhythmic anglo on a 2 row-from German Concertina: Drei Tänze aus der Altmark

Tango on Alto-Aeola ( Concertina )
A part of my self-arranged favorite tango – played on a converted tenor-treble Aeola playing 5 notes down with normal treble fingering…”

Brilliant selections Steve. Much appreciated.

And now a special welcome to new contributor : Elena Frecot from Germany I think.
She contacted our hard-working editor Peter

Hi Peter, I’ve got some suggestions for the digital Jukebox (which is a fantastic thing, by the way):
Two joyful pieces of dance music from northern Germany, played by Oxford-based Jim Penny on Anglo concertina. These are wonderful learning videos as well (played in slow tempo in the second half).

A „Lustig“ out of the dance collection of F. H. Füllgraf, Bergedorf (Hamburg), 1820. The dance is called „Spieker Lustig“ and is written as Nr. 31 on page 13. The original is owned by the museum of Bergedorf und die Vierlande in the castle of Bergedorf. Signature: Bü2107 The digital copy is to find at: www.tanzmusikarchiv.de “TradTanzMusik introduces melodies of traditional dance music of the German-speaking area from manuscripts of the 17th to 20th century. The goal of our page and YouTube-channel is to present melodies from hitherto largely unknown dance music manuscripts and notebooks of dance musicians and teachers.
This is a tune from the Füllgraf collection, dating about 1820. Mr. Füllgraf was a musician from Bergedorf near Hamburg. By the way “Lustig” means joyful, back then it was a popular dance as well – forgotten nowadays.
Another tune from that collection is Lustig Nr. 30 “Unter den Grünen Baum” (Under the Green Tree) – in D major but some surprising moments in the B part!
