Thanks Chris - it's almost a hornpipe step...made a change from playing it as a reel...

Seems someone didn't like it though - I have a 'thumbs down'  :'(

excellent rendition! - there's a danger of course that many more vids like that and the melodeon may become 'acceptable' to the younger generation..this must not be allowed to happen  >:E

Almo, I hope this wasn't me by mistake - I noticed that it appeared at the same time as I put my 'like' in, and it jumped from 1-0 to 2-1.  When I unclicked the 'like' button it went back to 1-0, and back to 2-1 when I reclicked like.  I don't understand why that happened at all, it was strange and unintended, if indeed it was not just coincidence, and somebody else happened to be on there at the same time.

He he...thanks Chris...  :D The wonders of computers and the Internet 'eh !

I wouldn't be suprised if I get a few 'thumbs down' as I'm basically messing about with tunes, and I don't expect everyone to have my stupid sence of humour either  ::)
Always good to get any sort of reaction anyway, then I know if I'm treading on the right (or wrong) path..

p.s. I actually think it's easy to accidentally click on the thumbs up or down things on You Tube.

I actually quite enjoyed that. I will say though, that the stare you give for the acoustic guitar section is chilling. Right to the bone.
