"Last one in this run of Weidt-ness:
"The Speedway Galop"
Dots are in the library, as usual."
Coliseum (1902)...Edward A. Marshall
This is a 6/8 march that suits the banjo well with a nice bass solo that repeats in the final section an octave higher. I could find no information on the composer or any other of his compositions. The score and midi are in the library...Steve.…See More
"Better keep one of those cones on hand, size 7 1/8"
"I am pretty sure that the title indicates just as you say. A bit of this, a bit of that. "
Richard William Ineson replied to Trapdoor2's discussion Airy Fairy, A.J. Weidt"The trio sounds like a rip off of the trio in Botsford's 'Grizzley Bear', maybe Weidt hinted that he was 'lifting' a few things when he called this 'Hodge Podge' ?"
Richard William Ineson replied to Joel Hooks's discussion Clifford Essex Spanish Guitar Footstool Knockoff"I've just been searching for the old footstool without success; since I don't play in public much anymore I use a volume of Jeffrey Archer novelettes which, with the pages taped round, I find is the ideal height for my leg, and the bright…"
"Well, that certainly sounds like a complete rip off of Dill Pickles, or should we be kind and say it's an homage? Love that Trio, though!"
"Next!
"Hodge Podge, A Symphonic Syncopation" again, by Capt. Weidt"
"LOL. Same 'issue' with USA English... ;-)
My hovercraft is full of eels!"
"Oh dear. That does not translate well into UK English..."
"Thanks again Richard. I am starting to think that after the rally I just might make up a dozen of them and see what happens.
At this point in time China might cost more! But I'd rather not get into politics here.
I would love to see…"
Richard William Ineson replied to Joel Hooks's discussion Clifford Essex Spanish Guitar Footstool Knockoff"Joel, you've made a fine job of reproducing the foot stools and you will have no trouble in selling them. People value craftsmanship and fine materials these days and $125 is not a bad price for the best on the market. Of course you could send…"
"Thinks for the kind words Rob. Yep, it is expensive for a footstool."
"Thanks Richard, funny, $125 US is where I would need to be to consider producing these. In my opinion that is high for a footstool (no matter how cool it is).
That price would leave no room to wholesale them (meaning I could not sell them to…"
Richard William Ineson replied to Joel Hooks's discussion Clifford Essex Spanish Guitar Footstool Knockoff"Yes it's priced in shillings, 240 pence made one pound, £1.00 or 20 shillings. When translating old money prices into modern values I often use the price of beer per pint, then and now, so for instance a pint of beer c1970 was around 2/-,…"
"Yes, 35 shillings.
These look great, and I'd love to have one of yours, Jody, but 100$ plus shipping and import taxes means it will remain a wish. But good luck with the sales!"
"Thanks Jody. I was please with how they turned out. This was the first project that I drew all the parts to scale in Autodesk Graphic (an illustration software) and used it to plan construction. It took away the trial and error. All the…"
