wow ! Sir, Your channel contents are very good. But due to some problems in your channel you are not getting views, audience accordingly. For this you need to optimize your channel well. Are you interested in optimizing your channel?
Yes I can see what you mean, music is famed for travelling and being adapted by different countries it lands in, so although this was published in the 18century it may well have been heard first in the Middle East, it's the way with old tunes. Thanks for your comments 👍
Thank you, glad you like it. I haven’t had the Uke bass long so still getting use to it. I have recorded a couple of videos using my fingers, but I haven’t got used to the strings enough yet to get the sound I wanted on this one. I will get there 👍😀
Thanks Frithjof, yes I love the tune and it’s going straight into the next music session. I’m really liking what the Uke bass can add, I’ve only had it for about 10 months so still learning. 👍
Hey, Every video in your RU-vid channel looks great, and I know you are struggling so much to increase video views and increase subscribers and channel monetization, but not getting any results, There are some reasons that I found from your channel if you want I can share with you, If you fix these then your channel will monetize very fast and views and subscribers will increase very fast Thank you
Thank you so much for your comment, but I have to admit the idea for the introduction came from the original video of the tune by ‘Floating Sofa Quartet’
Hi Rob, thanks very much, yes it’s a tune I hadn’t come across either until the previous week, glad you enjoyed and spent time learning it. I based my version on Will Allen’s version who is a fantastic melodeon player. You should come over to one of our First Tuesday sessions at the Rose & Crown, Feckenham would be good to see you. 👍😀
@@noodlin-mandolin Ah yes, there is the funeral is 2pm on Wednesday 13th Dec followed by a burial at Westall Park Natural burial ground, Holberrow Green and then back at the Rose & Crown, Feckenham.
@@squeezersully7 Ah, I knew about the crem and the burial at Holberrow Green but hadn't been told about the get together in Feckenham afterwards. Is that a definite arrangement now?
@@noodlin-mandolin Hi Rob, sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but I was waiting for final confirmation, so here are the arrangements for Jon's funeral, sorry if you've heard this on the grapevine already : 'Alan Ferguson has sent out details for Jon's funeral arrangements as below. As before, apologies if I'm just repeating what you may already know and please pass on to any others that you feel should be made aware. Wednesday 13th December, 2.00 pm Redditch Crematorium (the Abbey Chapel) B97 6RR Donations to one of Jon's favourite charities: Crisis UK Dress code: "wear what Jon would remember you in". If possible, please wear a hat. Of course, people should wear what they feel they should wear, so a suit and tie won't be frowned on either. As Jon leaves the chapel, there will be live music (tune to be chosen by Alan Smith and details will follow). Anyone that has an acoustic instrument can bring it along. People will remain in their seats to play and nobody should bring an instrument that needs plugging in (that last bit should go without saying, but let's say it anyway). The burial is at 3.00 pm at Westall Park Natural Burial Ground B96 6JY. Parking is limited and space around the grave will be tight. Family and close friends will attend but anyone that feels they want to be there shouldn't feel excluded. All are welcome to go to the wake at The Rose and Crown, High Street, Feckenham B96 6HS. Those that don't go to the burial can head off to the pub and get the drinks in. There will be live music, the beer will flow and so will memories of Jon.'
@@squeezersully7 Never recorded a dance of Playford’s Dancing Master until now. I like many of these old dances and enjoy the recordings represented at Mandolin Cafè. Recently I work on the music of the 18th century dance collection Dahlhoff.
@@frithjof.eberlein I haven’t heard of that collection, where can I find it? I play quite a few tunes from the Playford collection, some of white are on my Chanel, enjoy and keep on playing 😀
@@squeezersully7 The Dahlhoff Collection is a comprehensive German dance collection from the 18th century, which is owned by the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz. It comprises around 800 melodies on around 1400 pages in ten volumes. Origin: Between 1767 and 1799, the Dahlhoff family collected various folk dances and cataloged them. The Dahlhoff family was a sexton's family in the parish of Dinker [in Westphalia]. The recorded dances also originate from a radius of around 500 km in this region. The collection remained unnoticed for around 200 years until it was digitized and published by the Berlin State Library in 2012. The Dahlhoff Collection contains traditional German folk dance music, which also documents the musical influence from other regions (e.g. "Bayerische", "Polnischer Tantz", "Englisch Offeria"). The collection is not a musicological documentation, but a collection of everyday use, which thus documents folk music as it is lived. [source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammlung_Dahlhoff] Some folk musicians bring these dances to live nowadays. I recommend YT-channels like TradTanzMusik with a special playlist for Dahlhoff: ru-vid.com/group/PL8T34eFsvHmJzU9zJfW5TOXb_jLNFH8Oh Simon Wascher provides abc-notation of all dances: simonwascher.info/TradArchiv/Dahlhoff/ Would be a pleasure to have you performing one of the Dahlhoff dances!
hello John, ,, thanks, ,, that very good, , , take care, , , and have a great day and week end, , , 6.45 a.m, , , friday november 17 ' 2023 -- Mario Prud'Homme from Chelsea Quebec Canada, , ,
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment again, and I’m pleased you’re still enjoying the tune. I really enjoy learning the new tunes and putting the videos together 👍
@@squeezersully7 In the process of learning anglo now, so English system will wait a bit....but tempting ;-) (I tried with an android app...my brain did hearts lol I couldn't find the logic ha ha)
I appreciate your audacity in playing this American old-time fiddle tune on concertina! I mentioned your video at a mostly-Irish tune session in Portland, OR, yesterday, and then we played the tune, with concertina, button box and all.
Ha ha thanks Jonathan, if it’s a good tune, and Kitchen Girl is, I’ll have a go at playing it. I first heard it several years ago by Gas Mk 5 on their ‘Guizers’ album. I’m glad the concertina players of Portland are enjoying it 😃
