greart timing and hope there will be another cd but on the next one can you maybe include some of the other well known tunes like theroad and the miles to dundee and the Jaquline Waltz please as they are my favourite accordion peices thank you.
This tune was an all time favourite at the "Tea Dances" in the Reid Hall Forfar - Not as a barn dance but the ever popular Brittania Two Step. Brilliant playing Derek : Donald Ian Rankine.
Nice Scots playing...now the 'interrogation'! Which Hohner model is it? Which coupler are you using? As a 'beginner' I was wondering how long have you been playing? Have you recorded a 'second box' ....you sound like a one-man SDB (a compliment!) Thanks a lot !
I've just discovered all these comments (You Tube uses Google Mail to alert and I had forgotten I had an account!!). I'll try to answer some here. Hohner model is a Morino IVM from about 1956 ish. On this recording I use the new set of reed blocks created by John Carmichael for me which replaces the picollo reeds to make a 3 voice Scottish Musette. I started playing when I was 5 but I was away from it for nearly 30 years when I played organ and keyboards. The track on this video has 2nd box.
One or two more answers. The tunes are 'The Directors' and 'Tam's Hunting Horn' Sincere apologies to Poopingbotham who got me instead of Jimmy Shand:-) Thank you Helen for your kind words. Eugine boy!! Good to hear from you. Hope you are still drumming.
Out of all of the players ive seen here on you tube ,and there are many and very good players, you are outstanding,a very talented player and it gives me great pleasure just watching and listening to you, you are a credit to the fine players ,young and old who,like you, give their all and their time so that others can enjoy this lovely music, many thanks......T
I have no real plans at present but have been composing a few things over the years. I might do something with these tunes over the summer. Thanks for asking.
Great stuff...you are the inspiration for me to start learning again after a long ( 40) year layoff...this is the first tune I am learning.... from your video...thanks for a great tune Ron
Super playing great tempo .Will certainly try to get this CD .
