Da Dance O Da Shetland Shed

Da Dance O Da Shetland Shed. A fun polka composed for a friend in Shetland. 2 or 3 years ago she told a woeful tale about her garden shed. After a nasty storm, the shed was resembling the leaning tower of Pisa. Next storm came along and it was leaning to the opposite side. Last storm saw the demise of the shed. Most hilarious thing was the only thing left standing was an old China tea set sitting on a table in the shed.
Listed carefully round about 1.50 and you can hear the shed falling in the melody grin

Hi Graham,

I'm not the biggest fan of the Accordion but I found this to be a delightful and pleasant listen. Very well conceived performed. Very nice job!!!

The ambient sound in the beginning really added to the mood.
Felt like I could have been out on a misty moor somewhere.

Graham,

Thoroughly enjoyable.

Sounded bright and cheerful all the way through, not like that poor old shed.

A great fun tune.

And the shed got it in the end. crazy

Graham,

What a pleasant sounding, lively tune!

I've been watching a police drama on TV lately that's set on Shetland Island (it's called Shetland). It's a really great series! This fits very well with the show's music that's been played at gatherings/parties and the pub.

This is the kind of music that always makes people feel good! Enjoyed it.

Regards,
Noel

Loved this tune Graham. You can certainly tickle the ivories so to speak. Very cool intro.

Graham,

Great fun - well not for your friend or the shed, of course.
Its a danceable we-all-fall-down kind of tune and I enjoyed the Shetland images as well.

Shetland music itself is usually very bright & enjoyable, a strong Norwegian influence adds to the enjoyment

Great work here, Graham! This is the kind of music that's nearly impossible to listen to and not be in a good mood by end of it smile The tune has a lot of bounce to it, which I really liked.

Thanks so much for sharing! You should be proud of this smile


Cheers,

Nice! And the use of western swing RT's in a polka groove is unexpected...but it works well.

Kudos! Enjoyed the look and listen.

My favorite accordionist did it again. My toes were a tapping from the git-go.

Excellent playing on a good-mood-generating song!

Great song Graham.
