I hear you're becoming a bit of a virtuoso on the wooden spoon, Nick! |

18 Mar 09 - 03:36 AM (#2591544) Subject: RE: Melodeonphobe outed From: Liz the Squeak I am seriously thinking of setting up a support network for those of us who follow the true faith - no f^&%^&^g melodeons!! This will of course, incorporate accordions and concertinas, and any other instrument of the reed/bellows/push-pull combination. Join me in a cappella bliss! LTS |

18 Mar 09 - 03:58 AM (#2591553) Subject: RE: Melodeonphobe outed From: Gurney I don't know about F*****g melodeons, Liz. I have heard a poem about F*****g concertinas! Les Barker does it. I like free reeds. So there! (Yeah, I know plenty of people who like free beer.) Who was the idiot who started calling unaccompanied songs 'a capella,' anyway? About 90% of the 300 or so that I used to sing would get you thrown out of any chapel in the world! I like the song, Acorn4. There a counterpart, "Hexagon Zombies' around. |

18 Mar 09 - 10:18 AM (#2591745) Subject: RE: Melodeonphobe outed From: Sugwash I'm sure that it was 'unaccompanied' up to the point the Flying Pickets released their hit. What does it mean anyhow, Babelfish just ranslates it as 'to nail head' (it is Italian is it not?). Nice song Acorn4. |

19 Mar 09 - 01:55 AM (#2592329) Subject: RE: Melodeonphobe outed From: Gurney Sugwash, it translates as 'in the church style.' By which it means unaccompanied! Alla Cappella. |

19 Mar 09 - 04:35 AM (#2592372) Subject: RE: Melodeonphobe outed From: Sugwash Does it by God! Thanks for translating; I still find it a bit pretentious though. I sing the Irish traditional song 'The Cock and the Ass' unaccompanied, it ain't going to go down too well in a church though. |
