You have to mud your way through part 2/2 to hear Meryl play her new composition "Sirens"....

Yep, i saw that last night, thought it was pretty funny. She seems genuinely excited about wanting to learn to play it. But then, I love Meryl Streep!

What kind of a concertina is that? It doesn't look like an anglo to me (but of course, I'm just a fiddle player, and am likely to be wrong...)

It's a 2-row beginner's instrument. She would need 3-rows to be in the game unless she was studying the Kitty Hayes style. Maybe she'll do a movie about Kitty!
It's a version of a Chinese lantern.

She's way better than me with the thing. Too few strings.

The first tune she played was called 'Blowing out the cigarette smoke' I use to play it regularly myself until they brought in the smoking ban..
