Alison

You don't know Alison, but I think this is how she would like to be portrayed...She agreed to being photographed, but was clearly uneasy. I'm happy with this shot, but I don't know if it will say much to others.

I'm rocking and rolling on the train heading back to Boston...and feel like that's what my iPad is doing right now. Interesting shot.

Ha ha! nice one, Glenn. You gotta roll with it!

Excellent Rob. Looking for music or instruction?

She was setting up one of my ukulele books onto the music stand.

I reckon, her sight reading is pretty fast!

First instant, I thought Alison was an accordion player. For which I am sure there a a very good joke which i wont mention.

Nice photo Rob, full of energy.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian.

What? Do you mean along the lines of, "Last night I left my accordion in my car while I was in the pub. When I came out I was horrified to see that someone had broken into it. Now I've got two accordions!" Or maybe the famous Farside cartoon - "Welcome to Heaven, here's your harp. And, welcome to Hell, here's your accordion!"

I should give up my day job!!

I should maybe add that I really like the accordion and I'm a big fan of both Yann Tiersen and 17 Hippies.

Ever heard of Jimi Shandrix? Accordion nut from Scotland.

Great name and I had a quick look. I prefer more the Bohemian style. Actually our bookkeeper runs a Scottish dance band as his main job (Frank Reid Scottish Dance Band and Ceilidh Band, London, England)!

That was braw!

 

[Pete Askew]

I suspect that might mean that you liked it!
