About when Tony Mads posted last week about how "we tend to hear mistakes" if we're just listening to a recording I came across this song I did about six months ago.....around when I "burned out" of playing and the last time I touched my PA3x. I didn't post it then because of the 2-3 mistakes. But I figured after what Tony said it's not the worst thing.......making mistakes.

I did this in one "take" as I was playing around with the PA3x recorder and I hadn't played the song for a long time before that.

So......the reason I'm posting this now is because I forgot how impressed I am with the French accordion sound on the Korg. I actually thought I was listening to myself play my Musette accordion and not the PA3x.

Hopefully, I can get back to practicing again and maybe get some more of the PA3x under my belt......enough so the next time I record something it will be mistake-free.....if that's possible!

I really love playing French musette and....I think I really like playing it on the Korg. I'm going to try and get back into the music even if no one else really listens to that genre.

Mark, you forgot the link. Here it is:

Yes, Korg really nailed that musette sound.

Sounds real good Mark. I've been studying some accordion music lately but more of the Tex Mex variety. Anyways, thanks for postings!

10 out of 10 Mark and the French accordion on the Korg

Very good job, Mark, and I agree with you and the rest...the Korg has an amazing musette sound.

I used to play that tune a lot back in my restaurant/dinner music days...it is a lovely piece of music.

You have the "feel" down very well...nice phrasing.

I use a volume pedal on my Tyros4 to get the swells of the accordion...I have it set to control only the RH voices, leaving the accompaniment at the same level.

I like Toots Thielemans' version of this song.

PS...I have found my 1st or 2nd "take" of a tune still manages to retain most of the feeling...if I don't get it on those, I take a break and come back at it later, as subsequent recordings sound more stiff and forced.

I had the same experience... but presently it's amplified by 10.

I agree with Ian... a swell pedal makes all the difference.

Very nice. It takes some getting used to, and a lot of practice, when making those runs on a horizontal keyboard rather than the vertical accordion keys.
