I enjoy your concertina playing a great deal. I shared this video on my blog.

I play the triple row diatonic button accordion. One day, I'd like to try my hand at learning the concertina.

Whats is that concertina underneath the purple towel? I also agree covering up a concertina when it is not played 9definitly protects it)

[fleetingdays]

It's a Smith and Wesson. No, only kidding.

Thankyou John, I am "fleetingdays", but, I'm also known on my gigs as "Johnny Boy" in Minneapolis, MN USA. I've posted quite a few clips and thought that it was time to let folks see who I was. Thankyou for your comment!!

Hi again,

It's nice to know a bit more about you, although I did look up your banner on You Tube. I'm also from (NE) Minneapolis and now live in River Falls, WI. I come to the cities fairly often. I've played most of your clips; you're very prolific! I've played concertina for about 50 years, but not actively all that time. Last May I joined the North Star Concertina Club which has been fun and encouragement. I'm also new to You Tube. BTW thanks for the encouragement.

John

[fleetingdays]

Thankyou John. Again, I fully understand why you weren't actively playing all of the time. Life and or the wife/girlfriend can get in the way. I know, I've been there. Some of the very best concertina players today are from beautiful Wisconsin. I know that you are busy, but, please bring out that concertina each and everyday and play a few tunes. Thankyou for your comment!

Bravo, from another Chemnitzer concertina player. I love this piece. Your rendition sets a goal for how I'd like to play it.

John

[fleetingdays]

Very nice to know that you play the Chemnitzer concertina!! I know very well that sometimes life gets in the way, but, try to find time to practice and enjoy your concertina!! Thankyou for your comment!!

Great to see a realtime photo shoot of you playing. I make the exact same facial expressions that you do when I play the Gem Deluxe!! Great Job!! Add more with yourself in the video shoot! this was great!!!!!!!!

[fleetingdays]

Thankyou! Chuck Thiel and His Jolly Ramblers played at the Minnesota State Fair this year. And, yes, Chuck does play a Gem Deluxe concertina. You just need to not expose any concertina to too much heat or cold. Have a nice day!!
