I like to make my own orchestra and then I play along with my recordings
that's fun!

Dave did a great album in 1996 called "The Resolution", but it's not easy to find nowadays... :-(

I've just got round to reading this and Dave W calls the tune 'Frog is for Jumping'.

Thanks for choosing this  - brought back happy memories of one of my favourite bands  -  perhaps Beetle on the wine should be a future  TOTM choice !

Indeed - and we have done it before, albeit 6 years ago. One of my favourite tunes, so I thought I'd play them both together too. Here we go, straight down the line in G (and followed by Beetle in D) on a D/G Hohner Pokerwork.

Almost missed the window, but I happened to see the thread just this morning. I love this tune! I learned it through the California Morris dance scene, which, I'm afraid, means the actual "jumps" are completely missing from my version.

...But I DO have something novel to contribute (thanks Kimric)!

Loved the way you did that... and not just the special effects.

Brings me back to my days as a one-man band/pit orchestra for the Brave New Workshop in Minneapolis circa 1969.

Alas, the frog is silent on the pull!

Thanks Greg  (:)

That sounds fun. I do sometimes wish I had a slide whistle and an easy way to smash some plates while playing...
