Subject: RE: interested in concertinas
OK, Noah. I see my name has been called so I check in. As many people have said, Tony Rose did do a stunning version of Spanish Boots, on the English concertina. I've heard him do it live in an English folk club (on one of my infrequent visits "home") and of course I have the recording. Tony was brilliant.

I play English concertina to some extent, but these days I play the anglo more. But if Tony's arrangement is what turns you on, that's what you need.

It's time for you to check back in and tell us where you are.

For example, if you're in my part of the US, around New England, there is a concertina workshop coming up in a couple of months in Amherst, Mass. If you're in Australia, I'm sure there will be other suggestions.

This is a very widespread community, and a very helpful one, but to help you we need to know where you're coming from.
