Two tunes Italian Waltzes.

My contribution to TOTM , warts and all. The recording is a one-take , and then my Hard drive went kaput , so it has taken a while to rebuild everything. Melodeon is a Hohner Erica in G/C .

Here's one last August Waltz from me, Guy Loyer's "Hommage à Philippe Bruneau":

It's often paired (thanks no doubt to La Bottine Souriante) with Danielle Martineau's "Valse d'hiver," which I uploaded earlier this month (http://youtu.be/wP9-VfMvpA4). They're both enormous fun to play on a one-row.

Thanks all - some great stuff here this month. Time for a new theme; post late additions here as normal of course.

Cheers,

Clive

I was looking for a new waltz played on melodeon and found George's Stronsay waltz:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es1rMLTisbw
Stronsey waltz and Rope Waltz.  I put them on you tube some time ago using only laptop and playing them on a 3 voice mmm trichord I had just been given  as requiring a complete rebuild - so warts and all 'youtube stronsey waltz'

george
So here's my contribution to THoTM August 2015 - only 1,5 years later.

Very nice indeed! I also really like the tone of the instrument. Now you need to record the Orkney Rope...

Mike, thanks for your encouragement! I'm glad you like the tone - it's a simple Weltmeister box. Actually quite a good box - after repairing he keyboard with a lot of elbow grease.
Rope waltz will take a while, though ...

Here's "L'aurillacoise," a great waltz, and number 122 in the Bal Folk Tune Book. It's a tune I've been fascinated by for years, so I ended up doing a deep dive. For those of you worrying about my video decisions, I am standing off to the left on purpose. I wanted to let you all enjoy the woods around my house.

Be well!

The poll for Tune of the Month May 2020 didn't go my way. So I figured I might follow Gary in reviving a ~5 year old thread and post the runner-up tune for that month here:

Guinness Waltz
https://youtu.be/kOdJJDsSW38

Played in C on a G/C Hohner Erica (most likely from the 1960s). Bit out of tune on some notes but that's part of the fun.
