Chim Chim Cheree

[breezybellows]

I swapped out the dry tuned reed blocks from my Solloni with the wet tuned blocks that the accordion came with. I usually don't enjoy anything wetter than 10 cents and never really liked the Full Musette (MMM). I'm surprised about how much I actually like this sound. When I swapped it out, I was planning to do this just to test out the extra set of reeds and then change it back to the LMMH (dry) set. Now that I actually like this sound, I'm planning to take this out busking. I might keep it this way for a while. Playing one of my favorite tunes. Chim Chim Cheree sounds pretty cool on these reeds. Original song composed by Richard and Robert Sherman for the soundtrack of Mary Poppins.

Well done breezybellows. I like the left hand too.
If you haven't done it already I recommend you look at Julie Christie for good tunes from the same era.

I'll check out tunes from Julie Christie. I there a particular song I should look for first?

It can't be an age thing, can it? I should have said Julie Andrews. Doe, a Deer and a Spoonful of Sugar were two which were very popular with my dancers.

If you can find scores for the library of songs which Petula Clarke sang and perhaps the even broader scope of those sung by Nana Mouskouri then you'd have something to keep you busy for quite a while.
