Paul, you're an interesting guy, and you have an interesting band, and.......an interesting family. When I see your videos, the first thing I notice, and enjoy, is how happy and relaxed and content and integrated everyone in the group seems to be.
Most can play this kind of music, BUT......to play it properly, that's another story. The "fills" alone are priceless. Well thought out, not just thrown in there without any thought. Simple but fall in the right place at the right time. And, the sound itself, the orchestration is very pleasing to the ear.
And then there's Fulanito...3 chords to work with and this accordion player just plain makes the whole song work:
I had two thoughts here and there throughout my life. To become an accordionist in a polka band....and....to give it all up and join a Mexican Mariachi band.
