Captain Pugwash Theme (Trumpet Hornpipe)

[kipplewitz]

Brilliant. Excellent work. Love the way you finally allow yourself something resembling a smile, towards the end. Would've loved a stuffed parrot on the right shoulder. Thanks.

[joannalexus1]

you suck!

[1950sparks]

That's a great piece of playing, I tried to keep up on guitar but lost it in the first bar. I'm going to use your vid as a target but doubt I'll ever get to that speed. You have really nailed it - superb job!

Ha Ha, that was cool as.

Ah yes the adventures of Roger the cabin boy and seaman stains aboard the black pig or was it the flying dustman ? its been a long time, I know there were two ships but which one was captain pugwash's I just cant remenber. Any clues out there.

Tommy was a mate of mine at Longframlington, Northumberland. He was shepherd on the farm next door. We had some great Sun. nights in Rothbury where he played for his beer!

Oh just brilliant. Perfect. The happiest jig in the word. If I could do that, I'd never stop smiling for the rest of my life. Good on you. Happy New Year

scuse me im an accordion player me self an was wondering which bass chords ye be hittin fer dat there melody

[sonola1]

@frescoo 4 x C major. 4 x G major. 4 x C major 1 x G major. 1 x D major, then 2 x G major.

2 x C major, 2 x F maj. 2 x F maj, 2 x G maj.

The run-down at the end goes as follows C solo/ Cmaj. Counter G (B)/ C maj, Counter F (A)/ C maj, A flat* / C maj chord, G / G maj, Counter G (B) G maj, 2 x C maj.

* Counter E (G sharp) may be used. Same note, of course. Depends on preference and / or accordion size.

Hope this is clear.

Bravo!

I'm trying to master it on saxophone.

It's a real workout.

[sonola1]

thanks. Hope you are able to upload your saxophone version soon.

A good 2010 to you,

[lake40]

i love it very well done

[fizog]

Easily the most accurate rendition on youtube, why it only gets 4 stars is a mystery. Anyway, very nice playing.

[sonola1]

Many thanks for your kind comments. As for the 4 stars, a friend of mine jokingly downgraded it because his mother says that he plays it better. :)

[raffers3]

Thats amazing

wish i could play the Accordion

[sonola1]

Thanks for your comment.

[pennyt1994]

Hi...... Tom edmundson was my step grandad (Granpa Tom) Its really nice he is being remembered

Thankyou

[sonola1]

Thank You for your comment. as I have said, Your Granpa Toms rendition of the Pugwash theme tune was - and is - enjoyed by millions of people. Without the music, Pugwash would have sunk long ago.

Best wishes

Geoff

[DoctorObviously]

Grrrrrreat!

[sonola1]

Many thanks for listening and taking time to comment.

Geoff

[sonola1]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I wonder if your uncle had any idea what a huge impact his playing of a tune for a (supposedly) childrens TV show would have. His superb playing of that and the incidental music (which I also play!) helped make Cpt. Pugwash the cult that it has become. What a legacy to be responsible for so many smiles; because that's what most of us do when we hear it.

Thanks again

Geoff

[sultanfuss]

nice one tom was my uncle !

[bsam20uk]

Good job on this one, and you certainly play it better than me. I'm off to practice now....

[spikecart]

its a cracking tune that i love playing but me mum thinks that i play it better than you, lol

the apprentice is now the master(at this tune anyway)

[sonola1]

You realise, of course, that this means war!

Practice well!
