Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
can we keep the English Concertina out of this.
I have spoken to my tinas,and they do not wish to be associated with David Franks,they are quite delighted that I play chords,single line harmonies,melody played off the beat[and occassionally shock horror syncopation],melody and accompaniment[they sometimes like to pretend they are duet concertinas,its a bit like concertinas cross dressing]and they have even recorded Dill Pickle rag,Washington Post and other non English material such as Blues.
