𝐉𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫<p>There's a cute little piece of 18th-century doggerel about the Enclosure Act in England called "Goose and Common." The enclosures were a disaster for the English working class; you can draw a straight line from them all the way to the coal strikes during the Thatcher administration, and probably further than that. That's probably why every setting of the lyric I've encountered is all minor-key and dirge-like. But it's still witty and clever, and I thought it deserved a livelier tune, so I wrote one. </p><p>Warning: I'm no singer. You'll see what I mean. But I'm the one I have.</p><p><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/y3eliov6iqafw3h/Goose%20and%20Common.mp3?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">dropbox.com/s/y3eliov6iqafw3h/</span><span class="invisible">Goose%20and%20Common.mp3?dl=0</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/folkmusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>folkmusic</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/diatonicmelodeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diatonicmelodeon</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/buttonaccordion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>buttonaccordion</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/englishfolk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>englishfolk</span></a></p>

Solomon Foster<p>I think I posted this one once before on flute, but it's one of my favorite slides, and here I'm celebrating getting it worked out on box. This is "Across the Road”, which I got from a 1949 recording of Paddy Cronin. He played it in Am (and that's how I've normally played it on flute) but here I've transposed it to Em because that key fits the C#/D box better.</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/4KqVLO0_TI0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/4KqVLO0_TI0</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/TuneSwapTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TuneSwapTuesday</span></a> <br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/PaddyCronin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PaddyCronin</span></a><br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Slides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Slides</span></a><br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/IrishTrad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IrishTrad</span></a><br><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ButtonAccordion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ButtonAccordion</span></a></p>

Vivienne Dunstan<p>My new French <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/accordion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accordion</span></a> is en route. Asking the factory for courier + tracking number if they have one. But woot! This is a totally different type of accordion, no piano keyboard, but a chromatic button accordion (C system). Gigantic challenge, but a wonderful workout for a right hand that is affected by <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/stroke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stroke</span></a> damage and so often weaker.

Vivienne Dunstan<p>Today’s linguistic success was hearing back from a French accordion maker, who replied to a query in French, saying "Votre français est impeccable, pas de problème." Zut alors! 🤣 French Higher in 1989! I know it’s in their interests to make potential customers happy, but I’ll still take that as a win! I’m considering getting a compact chromatic button accordion as major new challenge. Still considering. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Languages</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/FrenchLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FrenchLanguage</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Accordion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Accordion</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ButtonAccordion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ButtonAccordion</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ChromaticButtonAccordion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChromaticButtonAccordion</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Squeezebox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Squeezebox</span></a></p>
