Fellow folkie Sabine Büttner was unusually unable to attend the last Folk Club Bonn, as she was in attendance at The Harmonie, a place the Folk Club hasn't been to since C-19 restrictions ended. Sabine did however come along to the pre-Folk Club concert on the Thursday before in our old spiritual ancestral home in the northern Bonn village of Graurheindorf. Thank you Sabine!
Always a pleasure to get the evening rolling and with the memory sometimes beginning to
fade a little, it's always an asset to have the lyrics written on the back of my eyelids.
Attila Vural is an amazing instrumental guitarist,
so it was great pleasure to jam with him on a couple of numbers.
After using his guitar sometimes primarily
as a percussive instrument, Attila finally remembers which side the bread is buttered
and which side his strings are on. Whilst many people unfortunately lost something during C-19, like their sense of smell or taste, Attila actually gained something, his voice, and gave us a wonderful rendering of "Dollar Got The Blues" from Clarence Gatemouth Brown. Post-C-19 inflation has qualified and quantified that when you used to get "Two-for-one",
nowadays you often only get "One-for-two."
Attila finds notes on the fretboard previously hidden by magicians!
Attila didn't remove or lower his G-string, (as Jimi Hendrix once famously did) but he damned near removed his lower E-string, mid-song, in his pursuit of percussive harmony on the guitar!
(It wouldn't even surprise me if Attila hadn't snared a few rabbits in his time!)
Finally, Attila treats us to something completely different, his double-necked Uke-guitar
Arns & Kallenbach
Model: 15-string guitar «Semi Fretless Nylon String Uke-Guitar»
Year of manufacture: 2018
After twelve years with the 14-string guitar it was time to find a new sound.
The 15-string guitar Arns & Kallenbach is a mixture between a semi fretless
nylon string guitar and a fretless ukulele.
It was first played live in Homburg (D) on August 25, 2018 at Mandy's.
Pickups: Carlos Pickup Acoustic 6 Edition
So who's a happy chappie!?!
After 8 encores all those present certainly were very happy and well-indulged!
Thank you Attila for such a wonderful evening and thank you Sabine for capturing it so well!
If you lack sufficient imagination, as to how such an instrument sounds, or even something that I often struggle with, "Vorstellungsvermögen", die wichtigste Form aller verschiedenen Arten von „Vermögen“
