Patriotic marches, stirring melodies, light classics, delightful ragtime melodies – all regular features of summer concerts in town bandstands across the US and UK a hundred years ago.“The Stars and Stripes Forever”, “The Maple Leaf Rag”, “Under the Double Eagle”, “The Liberty Bell March” and nine more are all here, arranged for the 30-button C/G Anglo concertina.Originally published as All-American Concertina Album by Mel Bay Publications, Inc. in 2008, Alan Lochhead’s masterful arrangements of concert music for Anglo concertina are presented here in their entirety with the addition of an easy button numbering and bellows direction tablature system to make these difficult arrangements much more accessible. Especially for this edition, Alan has added an accompaniment to “Georgia Camp Meeting” plus brand new – “Dill Pickles”.These are not easy arrangements, but once you master them you will be able to single-handedly stage your very own summer symphony bandstand concert!
