Zip Zip Polka

[GeorgeH76]

Had to give this one a try...not as many notes played as Gary's Ridgeland Dutchman played on chemnizer concertina version

Thanks George, very nice! The “old time” concertina music is good, I miss it, having moved away from the ridgelands 5 years ago now. You’d fit right in….

…..and since you’re playing these tunes, here’s the Concordia Dance Hall, where Gary still plays the polka dances…. Kind of historic.

Thanks for the info. Gary has quite a few videos on youtube. I like his style of playing he makes it seem simple. Nice to see the Chemnitzer as a lead instrument.

You’re welcome George! Check out Karl Hartwich too for more fine concertina from that area. I tried it but it was too much for my tired brain. Sticking with the piano, but still playing some of the old time music. Glad you like it!
