I had that German job this coming week so I took out the accordion to practice. Thought I try this piece again before I put it away. I'm pleased to see my fingers are still up to snuff, especially after that scare I had with the stiffness a few months ago.

Your fingers are fine LOL. Interesting piece and excuse me for not knowing better but I think it could of actually been better a little slower.
Nice playing anyway.

Bill....I've heard that piece played at different tempos, but I'd have to agree with you. I played it too fast to even appreciate it myself.

As an aside......the tension that you left behind (in this area) when you moved is not real conducive to playing great music. Don't ever regret leaving here!

I'm happy I could still play the piece after not touching it in years. I did one pass at it with a cheapo tape recorder so I'm happy with the way it came out.

Now.....since I "haven't touched it in years," it would have been nice to hear something like Bill said....."nice playing."

Hi Giovanni........always nice to hear from you. It was because of everything John taught me that I developed great finger technique. But, I think I mentioned to you that I called him just a few years ago to thank him for "everything he did for me"and I was saddened when he said he didn't even remember. Another Glen Campbell case?

But it really is nice to hear from you. Every time I see the name Giovanni from over there across the ocean I go on this wonderful nostalgia trip!

Your friend,

Mark

I didn't say it's bad or anything like that. It was more like encouragement from one accordion guy to another. Fake "nice job" doesn't help anyone.

Well I'm impressed. That sounded really hard!

Just curious: when you perform live on the accordion, do you play solo, with the band, or backing tracks?

Mark,

Man that's some fast playing! Nice work! I'm with Bill maybe a little slower would have been more enjoyable. Nevertheless that's some technique.
