Re: Song of the month for September 2014 - Church Point Breakdown

Good one. Nice 'n bouncy.

Re: Song of the month for September 2014 - Church Point Breakdown

I liked that too, bouncy like ned said and much more intricate than my choppy efforts. So you still not got round to building y'sen a C then?

Re: Song of the month for September 2014 - Church Point Breakdown

Very nice, Bryan! I like that a lot.

I was ready to record mine and couldn't figure what was wrong with the B-part. It was not ending on time at all.

Turns out it was all seriously wrong. Sigh.. Hopefully this weekend.

Re: Song of the month for September 2014 - Church Point Breakdown

JohnA, I play the B part slightly different from most people.

AJ, I've been "planning" to build me another C for quite a while, but every time I build me one, I need the money more than the accordion and sell it, ha

Re: Song of the month for September 2014 - Church Point Breakdown

You play it a little different but within the structure. I was just way the heck off. Like half a phrase worth.

It's fixed now and I just gotta get it solidly under the fingers.

Wow.. this has been such a journey for me. I never made music before I took up the accordion.

Re: Song of the month for September 2014 - Church Point Breakdown - my take

Here's my shot at the Church Point Breakdown. Once you sort it out, it's not too hard.

As Mr. Octa said... "You can't go wrong if you play it right".

Well done, Ian. Man.. blew my poor attempt out of the water. :)

I really like the time with it. Makes me get up and dance.
