Here's my belated and VERY humble attempt. I make a little oopsie mistake in the end and I need to improve on bellows control...sigh:( But I've been having lots of fun learning this tune. It's played on a Castagnari Laura G/C.

Very well done - even without the injured hand Susi  (:) You make it sound like dance music!

a late entry but something me and Kate have been working on. we've not met in person...yet but hope to get a chance at OFF to play together. This was initially a way of practicing playing with others but turned out so nicely we thought we'd share.

Very nicely done.  Nice accordion too.  I was looking at the Castagnaris recently and found that the Laura is their standard two row two voice, eight bass  model with the high quality reeds and yet I had never heard anyone speak of this model.  I would have thought it would be a very commonly seen model and yet it doesn't seem to be. (at least on this forum)

Thanks Waltzman! You're right, noone speaks of Castagnari Laura, in fact I very rarely meet anyone who even knows about it. Mostly they've heard of Tommy, Lilly, whatever but never Laura! It's a nice small-medium sized box and has a sweet sound.

Very nice Alan, my first and still favourite melodeon tune.  I'd forgotten the Morris on intro, I used to play it all the time years ago, but it had dropped below my horizon, I shall re-instate it now!

Neil,
I just had a look at your YouTube of Princess Royal - if you have only been playing a month - you are doing really well, keep at it. Great playing.
Thanks for your comments too.

Thank you, Almo  (:) I thought this posting might have slipped by unnoticed - I love the major version of Princess Royal and a while ago thought that if I posted it, I should learn a minor version - easier said than done. It's taken me about 2 months to get it so I could play the Bampton version through without too many mistakes.
