Hi Folks - it's poll time again; here's this months choices... all "unfortunate" losers in past polls, and deserving of another chance:
The Redowa Polka, From the playing of our own Gavin Atkin, here's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbp-8EE9HRY ; (that's a great video Gavin - ideal for those looking to pick up the tune ). Oh, and I see Gavin's done a followup tutorial video too - even better! Here's the second video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uj8onoBvso
Enrico - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeL-qKVx0aQ - an English hornpipe that fits a one-row beautifully. Played in the video by Ed Rennie
Valse de Vent - a beautiful, simple (I think, haven't tried to learn it yet!) French waltz written by Florence Pinvidic. And here is a lovely video of her playing it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcGX7x1vJ6I
Soldier's Joy - In honour of DTN's fine demonstration of how to spice this old session standard up, here it is as you'd hear it in most sessions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sme1bst8oI ... and this is how DTN plays it: [[[ Oops, this recording has been lost with the demise of Onmvoice. DTN, have you got another copy uploaded somewhere? ]]] . A tune you can do a *lot* with.
Off you go folks, happy voting!

As it's a WALTZ then the M field needs to be 3/4 (!) ;)

plenty of nice tunes and difficult to make up one's mind !

Has to be Redowa polka for me. Just love the barmy way the C music wanders off into a different key, without even bothering to establish the new tonality properly!

This tune would be great with Helikon basses. :||:

Soldier's Joy - In honour of DTN's fine demonstration of how to spice this old session standard up, here it is as you'd hear it in most sessions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sme1bst8oI ... and this is how DTN plays it: [[[ Oops, this recording has been lost with the demise of Onmvoice.
Went through hell finding the old PC in the garage .. getting it to work again to find the lost file ... ;D
As i had no idea what i recorded to a challenge from ALMO .. And i still don't like the tune >:E

Not if you play the right chords! ( C - F - G - C - C - F - G - C)

Anahata, I've read you saying this before and never heard it played - would you be kind enough to share your version with us?

You're absolutely right of course, a minute at the piano trying out your chords has convinced me. Not sure that I'm not a bit disappointed though - it's less of a charmingly barmy tune than I thought!
Though the tune still sounds a bit unfinished if I play it without any harmonies at all - due to the lack of F-naturals and the presence of C-sharps (in the C music) I suppose, not really giving the ear the right clues for C-major.
And what do you do about the F chord on a D/G melodeon? Fake it somehow in the right hand? Play it on a C/G melodeon instead? I'd like to second McGrooger's request - I'd love to hear your version!

OK here in rainy Derbyshire too!
Lovely version of the tune, really interesting variations and beautifully played. May I ask what sort of box you are playing - I'm thinking it must have quite a lot of bass buttons to do all those moving bass lines?
