How Are Things In Glocca Morra? - Petula Clark

Italian 1970's Pearlized "White" Gem (Quad reed) Chemnitzer Concertina Solo. I think I had one of the switches set for "organ" on this tune. This is a song about a fictional village in Ireland. Song composed by Burton Lane and played by "Johnny boy". The timing might be slightly too fast. I don't think it is the number of songs that you can play that is important. Rather, the importance is the number of songs you can play with perfection!! I have a ways to go. But, this is what musicians seek.

as a singer, this version is so different, more "german" than "irish" and Many Thanks!

[MegMerrilies]

A very nice version. A happy sound! 

[sbarr10]

What a beautiful interpretation! Maybe one characteristic of a great song is that it can be interpreted multiple ways!
