In fact, such a thing had not been known in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. What could have brought him here? men and women asked themselves. There was surely nobody who could dance in the village, and the few coppers he would gain by performing on his violin would not repay him for his trouble. Moreover, Scarcombe was a bleak place, and the man looked sorely shaken with the storm of life. He seemed, indeed, almost unable to hold out much longer; his breath was short, and he had a hacking cough. To the surprise of the people, he did not attempt to play for their amusement or to ask, in any way, for alms. He had taken a lodging in the cottage of one of the fishermen, and on fine days he would wander out with his boy, a child some five years old, and, lying down on the moorland, would play soft tunes to himself. So he lived for three weeks; and then the end came suddenly. The child ran out one morning from his room crying and saying that daddy was asleep and he could not wake him, and on the fisherman going in he saw that life had been extinct for some hours. Probably it had come suddenly to the musician himself, for there was found among his scanty effects no note or memorandum giving a clue to the residence of the child's friends, or leaving any direction concerning him. The clergyman was, of course, called in to advise as to what should be done. He was a kind-hearted man, and volunteered to bury the dead musician without charging any fees. After the funeral another question arose. What was to be done with the child? He was a fine-looking, frank boy, who had grown and hardened beyond his years by the life he had led with his father. Fifteen pounds had been found in the dead man's kit. This, however, would fall to the share of the workhouse authorities if they took charge of him. A sort of informal council was held by the elder fishermen. CHAPTER I 9 "It is hard on the child," one of them said. "I have no doubt his father intended to tell him where to find his friends, but his death came too suddenly. Here is fifteen pounds. Not much good, you will say; and it isn't. It might last a year, or maybe eighteen months, but at the end of that time he would be as badly off as he is now." "Maybe John Hammond would take him," another suggested. "He lost his boat and nets three weeks ago, and though he has a little money saved up, it is not enough to replace them. Perhaps he would take the child in return for the fifteen pounds. His old woman could do with him, too, and would soon make him a bit useful. John himself is a kind-hearted chap, and would treat him well, and in a few years the boy would make a useful nipper on board his boat." John Hammond was sent for, and the case was put to him.

  • Paul Hardy's Session Tunebook
    10 Jul, 2008 Paul Hardy Paul Hardy’s Session Tunebook Introduction This tune book contains tunes that I have learned to play on my English concertina, that are played at folk music sessions, particularly in the area around Cambridge, England and Redlands, California. They should also be playable on fiddle, whistle, etc. I have also included guitar chords, often generated by abcmus if not present at the tune’s source. Most are traditional tunes from the British Isles, many of Celtic origin, particularly Irish dance tunes, but others are from an eclectic mix of sources. Many have been adapted from Internet resources, originally in abc or midi formats. Others have been learned by ear or handouts from various sessions in the UK and US. All are believed free of current copyright (unless noted explicitly), or else appear to have been placed in the public domain. Please let me know if you are the owner of any that are under access restrictions and I’ll remove them. I have tried to choose the simple versions of most tunes, without decoration and interpretations, so add your own triplets, grace notes and variations. This tunebook has been prepared using abcm2ps, with help from abcmus and Melody Assistant. Particular thanks go to Greenshoots (www.greenshootsmusic.org.uk) for the slow sessions near Cambridge in England that let me learn many of these tunes; the concertina sessions at Chiltinas near Bedford in England that gave me confidence; the Ceili House Band in Redlands in California that opened my eyes and ears to the range of Irish music; and to the celtic jam sessions at Green Valley Lake in the nearby San Bernadino Mountains that broadened my repertoire.

  • Paul Hardy's Basic Tunebook 2020
    14 Sep, 2021 Paul Hardy’s Basic Tunebook 2021 Introduction This Basic Tunebook contains a subset of the more commonly played and simpler tunes from Paul Hardy’s Session Tunebook. Both tune books contain tunes that I have learned to play on my English concertina, that are played at folk music sessions: particularly around Cambridge (England) and Redlands (California), and at some UK concertina gatherings like those at Kilve in Somerset. They should also be playable on other folk melody instruments like fiddle, whistle, flute, or dulcimer. Most are traditional tunes from the British Isles, including many English, Irish, and Scottish dance tunes, but others are an eclectic mix of session favourites. Many have been learned by ear or handouts from various sessions in the UK and US, while others have been adapted from Internet resources, in abc, midi or visual score formats. All are believed free of current copyright (unless noted explicitly), or else appear to have been placed in the public domain as part of the ongoing live folk music tradition. Please let me know if you are the owner of any that are under access restrictions and I’ll remove them. I have tried to present simple versions of most tunes, without much decoration and interpretation, so add your own triplets, grace notes and variations. I have included guitar chords, sometimes refined from computer-generated ones - use these as guidance, not definitive! Tunes in 4/4 time that have the rhythm indication "Hornpipe" should usually be ’swung’ - lengthen the first and shorten the second in every pair of quavers - as in "Thursday".

  • No Surrender! : a Tale of the Rising in La Vende
    HOME. 349 services, but I insisted on his receiving a couple of hundred francs in assignats for the use of his poorer patients. The skipper carried out his instructions to the letter. We got to Honfleur after dark on the day after starting, and he went with me to the cottage of a widow of his acquaintance. "He said to her, 'Mother, I want you to take care of this young sailor; he has broken his arm and wants nursing. He does not want his being here to be known, because he is afraid he might be packed off in one of the ships of war as soon as he recovers. I suppose you can manage that?' "'Oh, yes!' she said; 'I have very few visitors, and no one would guess that I have anyone upstairs.' "'He has plenty of money to pay your charges. Now I will leave him with you, and will look in to-morrow to see how he is getting on.' " I stayed there a fortnight, by which time the inflam mation had pretty well subsided. No one could be kinder than the old woman was. She used to bathe my arm by the hour, and she fed me up with broth. At the end of that time I felt ready for work, though my arm was of course useless. So, having paid my account, I went down boldly to the river and crossed to Harfleur, and then went on to Havre. I stayed there for a couple of days at a sailors' cabaret, where they supposed that I belonged to a vessel in port, and no questions were asked.

  • Paul Hardy's Xmas Tunebook 2019
    13 Nov, 2019 Paul Hardy’s Xmas Tunebook 2019 Introduction This tunebook contains Christmas tunes and carols that I play on my English concertina. They should also be playable on fiddle, whistle, flute, dulcimer, etc. The predominant keys used are G, D and C (and Em, Bm, and Am) to suit folk instruments and ease learning. Most are traditional tunes, mainly from the British Isles, but others are imports from various sources. All tunes are believed free of current copyright (unless noted explicitly), or else appear to have been placed in the public domain as part of the ongoing live folk music tradition. Please let me know if you are the owner of any that are under access restrictions and I’ll remove them. I have tried to choose the simple versions of most tunes, without much decoration and interpretation, so add your own triplets, grace notes and variations. From this 2019 edition, the guitar chords have had a major overhaul and simplification from the earlier editions (thanks to the Brind family). I’ve also included a small subset of words - just enough to go with the notes written, usually one verse plus a chorus if any. This tunebook is for instrumentalists, not singers! This tunebook has been prepared using the abcm2ps software, with help from abcmus, EasyABC, and ABCexplorer. A big thank you goes to those creative and dedicated people who give their time to create and maintain low-cost or free and open source software for abc music editing and output. The current version of this tunebook, in ABC and in PDF forms, is downloadable from Paul’s web site at http://www.pghardy.net/, along with Paul Hardy’s Session Tunebook.
