Blue Skies

"Blue Skies" was written by Irving Berlin in 1926 and is performed here by Alan Day on Anglo concertina and myself on acoustic guitar. Our CD "La Luna" is available at: http://www.mjra.net/La Luna/

Alan is one of the finest exponents of the Anglo concertina in Britain and, as well as playing all over Europe, is the producer of the "Anglo International" and "English International" concertina CD compilations. You can see a playlist of Alan's work at:

[SK3Nives]

that was awesome. Does the concertina play different notes when u push in opposed to going out, like a harmonica?

[HenfieldWill]

Yes - the Anglo concertina works on the same principle as a harmonica. Al's playing a G/C instrument - basically a row of buttons (on each side) in the G scale, and a row of buttons in the C scale - plus some extras. :-)

Duke Ellington did a cover of this with two dueling trumpets in extreme register. this powerful version is the first I heard. This version here is a nice contrast though.
