jimmy shand dots

[george garside]

I have attached a sheet of dots of Jimmy Shands version of The Road and the Miles to Dundee under accordion chat - bellows direction as it gives Jimmy's phrasing which is not related to a set number of bars!

Thanks, George for posting the road and the miles - I had been looking for exactly that piece and hadn't been able to find it. Thanks also about the advice about the box and fiddle clubs

I have only just got the hang of attaching things to the forum ( totally thick when it comes to computors) so will attach some more of Jimmys stuff including some of his own compositions when I haave scanned them etc

have posted a list of books of Jimmy Shands arrangements and of his original compositions in response to a question on ''accordion chat'' when to change bellows direction (or something like that)
Perhaps it would have been better on this subforum !
