Subject: RE: Squeezebox, by The Who From: Greg B Date: 02 Jul 06 - 11:07 PM Uh...guys...it's a metaphor. There's no actual free-reed instrument involved. Though I guess 'bellows' might be a fair analogy. You see you take yer...oh, never mind |

Subject: RE: Squeezebox, by The Who From: Scrump Date: 03 Jul 06 - 05:01 AM John Kirkpatrick and Chris Parkinson (Sultans of Squeeze) have recorded Pete Townshend's Squeezebox on their CD "England" - might be worth listening to that? |
|
Subject: RE: Squeezebox, by The Who From: Geoff the Duck Date: 03 Jul 06 - 07:32 AM Townsend when interviewed many years back said the inspiration for the song was the Dagenham Girl Pipers. Quack! GtD. |

Subject: RE: Squeezebox, by The Who From: Jack the Sailor Date: 03 Jul 06 - 12:02 PM Does any know how I can hear this without buying the CD , waiting for it in the mail etc? John Kirkpatrick and Chris Parkinson, Sultan's of Squeeze, Squeezebox... |

Subject: RE: Squeezebox, by The Who From: open mike Date: 03 Jul 06 - 12:24 PM is this the one that goes mamma's got a squeezebox.....in and out.... and in and out..... |

Subject: RE: Squeezebox, by The Who From: greg stephens Date: 03 Jul 06 - 01:14 PM It is indeed. I'm sure it will sound fine with an actual squeezebox, but I think the power of the original was greatly enhanced by not using an accordion. The sound was imitated by a swirly guitar, and it sounded fabulous. |
|
Subject: RE: Squeezebox, by The Who From: Jack the Sailor Date: 03 Jul 06 - 02:23 PM Greg The original featured steel guitar and banjo. I found a bunch of covers on allmusic.com and listened to samples on Amazon. A couple seem pretty good. I like Chubby Carrier's Cajun version the best. I'd still like to sample John Kirkpatrick and Chris Parkinson,doing it. |

Subject: RE: Squeezebox, by The Who From: greg stephens Date: 03 Jul 06 - 02:25 PM JacK: I've never heard the cajun version, that sounds a brilliant idea. I must chase it up. Do you play piano or button accordion? |

Subject: RE: Squeezebox, by The Who From: concertina ceol Date: 03 Jul 06 - 05:40 PM buy the Sultans of Squeeze album or see them in concert - it is, and they are brilliant! |

Subject: RE: Squeezebox, by The Who From: Marion in Cornwall Date: 03 Jul 06 - 06:20 PM Hi Jack & Carol, A friend of mine wrote the tune out and I've got a copy as a Noteworthy Composer file. We used to play it in the band I was in at the time (with melodeons & piano accordion) - If you pm me I can email you a copy of the dots or if you use Noteworthy a copy of the file. Regards Marion |
