A good point - but if a musical style has any merit, it's worth
studying for musical reasons alone.
That's why, in Ireland, so many non-Kerrymen play slides and polkas

Hello Anthony,
I don't think we disagree. At Stuart Hardy's musical altitude, I'm sure you're

playing the tune with a dotted rhythm will get you through in a far less
exposed manner than playing straight, which

It's a lot easier to play Roxborough Castle in dotted rhythm, as is
done here. I prefer it played absolutely straight, which is really very

Yes to both, and the acoustic doesn't help at all.

Hi John,

John's idea of comparing performances of the same piece on NSP and BP is an

The only competitive element in some melodeon circles is to be the one
who can play louder, which thankfully is not normally an issue in nsp's!
Hence the expression "Wall to wall melodeons".
But there are more and more superb box players out there, including some
quiet ones.
