Rainbow Connection

Rainbow Connection is from the The Muppet Movie, written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher. It’s the song sung by Kermit the Frog, of course. What a sweet, gorgeous waltz it makes! I learned this tune this morning (heard it on TV last night), and here it is.

Melodeon.net’s theme of the month for January 2023, Tunes with names that start with R (working our way through the alphabet).

See Amidst the Winter Snow

The tune of a carol written in 1871 by John Goss. We’re doing melodeon.net’s usual Christmas theme of the month, and this is a lovely carol. There are words of course to the real thing, written by Henry Ramsden Bramley and John Stainer, but I’m not singing!

Silta played by Clive Williams and Mark Prescott

Mark and I played this in the garden for the Vaults Bar lockdown session (we’re still in Covid lockdown for those viewing this in 10 years time) – this is the first time we’ve been able to play together for 4-5 months. Despite being April, it snowed – you’ll see the snow at the end of the video… so this is all we got to play.

Silta was written by finnish accordion player, Markku Lepisto.

A quick recording for the virtual vaults session! My mate Dave Chatterley wrote this and posted a version of it on mandolin yesterday – great tune Dave!
