Chuffed managed some #accordion play. Still learning Money, Money, Money by #ABBA. Played on my big Paolo Soprani/Clinkscales 1981 piano accordion. Some fluffs, but I'm pleased with that. And again my right hand control kept up, managing lots of three-note harmonies. My right hand control has been much better since I started learning my new French chromatic button accordion in June. Which is helping recover long-term lost hand control from brain damage from my #neuro illness. #squeezebox #music

Trying an #accordion arrangement of Money, Money, Money by #ABBA for the first time. Wow! That tune really suits the instrument. Though I’ll want to add some more harmonies to the arrangement for my own playing preferences. Also playing my own arrangement of Speechless from live action movie #Aladdin. Adore how that one runs up and down the keys. Didn’t play for too long - it’s too hot! But happy to manage that much. #squeezebox #Disney #Music #Arranging #MusicArranging

Browsing old #newspapers in the #BritishNewspaperArchive and finding a very intriguing J.G. Yung #accordion performer and piano etc tuner popping up frequently in the #ScottishBorders in the latter half of the 19th century (1850s onwards). A bit of genealogical digging finds he was born in #Darmstadt, #Germany, and died in #Hawick in 1903. I may well pull together the various references into a more scholarly article. #squeezebox #Scotland #music #MusicHistory #HistoryOfMusic #Genealogy #BNA

I just found this and only had time to listen to the start, I am sharing it here so that I can find it tomorrow - plus I suspect some of you will appreciate an hour plus recording of John Kirkpatrick and Sue Harris playing St Andrews folk club in 1972!

Lester Bailey plays La Mourisque - simple but effective droning on the left hand helps give a certain air of ancientness to the fairly ancient tune.

😭😭😭 ma vénérable Logitech Squeezebox Boom qui me lâche avec problème de carte wifi intégrée 😭😭😭
C'était vraiment un périphérique audio génial, je n'ai pas vu d'équivalent aussi bien. Que vais-je devenir sans elle ?
Bon, elle fonctionne heureusement encore en ethernet, mais ça sent la fin...
Well #LG have #EndOfLifed Musicflow so have to go through Chromecast to use on network. Pair of H7s working fine but Chromecast no longer works of the sound bar (since last firmware based on my googling) so can’t add it to a group or link to #Squeezebox On plus side have managed to get the chromecast plugin to work so at least H7s work in front room
I’m listening to Scan Tester this #TuneswapTuesday morning- “Broom Dance” .i. Oyster Girl https://youtu.be/sgh_ywM2uZw

Bought two #accordion themed things on #eBay tonight. One rather tacky 😜 One more tasteful. I saw Albany on stage with my parents in #StAndrews several times. And as an undergraduate went to evening classes at Kilrymont with accordionist Billy Anderson. Everyone else there was playing traditional Scottish tunes. I resolutely worked on my preferred Continental tunes! #squeezebox #smurfs #music

Digging out my schoolgirl #French to email #accordion makers #Maugein to tell them how phenomenally the new chromatic box #CBA seems to be helping my hand control generally, fighting my #neuro cerebral #vasculitis. 250 ish French words later and all done. It's a marvel how much French language I remember, even if I have to check a few words here and there. But I can write 90% of it in one go. Higher French in 1988/9 at #Hawick High #School was a very long time ago. #LanguageLearning #squeezebox

More #accordion #music arranging, this time starting on a new version of two #GuysAndDolls tunes. These are in the original stage show version, but were dropped from the 1955 movie. I've adored them for a long time. #IanCharleson 's 1982 #NationalTheatre version of them is a particular favourite of mine, ever since the 1980s, though I never saw that performance on stage. #squeezebox #SheetMusic #Musicals #FilmMusic

Delighted to manage 90 mins #accordion #practice, mainly trying #musicals tunes I'll do new arrangements of. Also played French #musette, Despacito, #ABBA, Bergerac, Spanish Gypsy Dances, #Scottish traditional etc. Been weaker on my right side since a huge cerebral #vasculitis relapse/ #stroke like thing in 2004. So it was marvellous to do well today. Here's a recording of a #GuysAndDolls tune A Woman in Love written as extra for the 1955 movie. Tentatively played here. #squeezebox #music #neuro
