Melodeon.net’s tune of the month for Dec 2019 is this classic 32 bar jig; always a favourite of mine. Here played in C on a G/C Hohner Liliput converted by Kay Albrecht.

Very appropriately, the tune to this french anti-war song is tune of the month at melodeon.net for November 2018. Played on a Castagnari Giasco I in D/G in the key of D (in fact entirely on the D row).

This month’s tune of the month from Melodeon.net is Gilles Chabenat’s wonderful 2 time bourree, Chassepain. Here I’m playing it with the other tune commonly played with it, Baudemic (also by Gilles Chabenatt). Used to play these years ago when I played a lot of french music, but they’ve kind of dropped out of the repertoire. Nice to learn them back up again.
Played on a Castagnari Mory in D/G, in the key of D (which is what it’s typically played in sessions)

A mazurka written by Gregory Jolivet of Blowzabella, and learned from their latest album “Two Score”. Fits on melodeon really quite nicely, needing a small accidental note at the end of the B music, but that’s about it.
Melodeon.net’s theme of the month is mazurkas; this video is part of that. Played on a restored 1920’s Hohner in G/C

Pascale Rubens (of Naragonia) wrote this wonderful tune and gave kind permission for us at melodeon.net to use it for our Tune of the Month, so here it is, Tune of the Month for August 2013. A mazurka, deceptively simple to play, and fits on a 2 row melodeon beautifully. Here played on a modified Hohner Preciosa in Bb/Eb.
With apologies for the ‘sad clown’ face; I’m having a good time, really I am!
