Here's my contribution this month.

Howard

I really admire this version. The variety you introduce seems to grow very naturally from the basic tune, and it all fits together in a natural, uncontrived way. Nicely conceived and played throughout...thanks!!

No titles so - it's on a D/G Salterelle.

Howard

I'm intrigued by your bass layout; it seems to have Em/B & D/A on the top row and C/C and G/D in the middle, If this is the case, what's on the bottom row? Is it a standard factory layout or a special?

It's the standard layout for its time. As you say it has the normal 8 at the top and then Bb/F and Eb/F# at the bottom.
My C/G Bertrand Gaillard has the same layout I think as standard, although I was its second owner.

Thanks for that info - mine's much older, and has the usual 8 at the bottom, and Bb/F and A/Emaj at the top - again, AFAIK the standard factory layout at the time. The layout you have would seem to be more ergonomically efficient. Food for thought....... Mine also came with a 4th-button start, which I've stayed with but altered the low notes to suit me better.

This month, after a long mental struggle with my left hand, I have attempted to play the bass rather than just hold on to it

Here goes.

Another version, this time on my huge Hohner Morino Club N - played in several of the registers so you can hear them! The pauses are to give time to select the different bass registers

Watch out for the amazing very low note.....

Enjoy!

A rather rushed single take. (You will note that I am managing expectations here). On a D/G Loffet box in E minor. I would say this is pretty much the Anglicised version that one tends to hear in sessions.

My second go at a TOTM. It is very short (thought I'd quit while I was ahead).
I first heard this one done by the amazing Pyewackett many years ago. I managed to dig out the recording, but I don't it it rubbed off...
Really chuffed to have got another one done though!

Sandy · « **Reply #150 on:** January 23, 2012, 07:03:42 PM »

It's been a while

First is a fairly standard Bear Dance tune played with the Revenzas last year.

Replaced the second short impro tune with a better recording hopefully... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D92ztc993Ws

Sandy, from my point of view and that is on the outside looking in,
it was really fabulous. It was a real party playing it I can imagine

Another Bear Dance. I found it quite hard to keep a steady tempo (a problem that I have with lots af tunes

)

Yikes! Posting 12 TOTM videos is one of my New Year resolutions and here it is already the last day of January. I found this tune easy to learn but unfortunately as soon as I hit the 'capture' button on my 'puter (I use iMovie) my nerves get the better of me and I stuff up heaps. Hence 15 takes

, or thereabouts. It is a very basic and quick version.

I learned this entirely by ear by listening to other videos posted here. I haven't even looked at the black dots. This is a skill which I owe entirely to melnet! Considering what a devotee of the black dots I was, this is a big leap in skill for me, for which I am most grateful. Thank you to all who pushed me out of my comfort zone. Just goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

With just a few hours left before the end of January I thought I'd have a go at the TOTM. I've never played the tune before. I had a quick run through on the Corona III N. It ended up more 'Ghost Dance' than 'Bear Dance'. I should dedicate this one to Kicking Bear.
