Randy, Very nice! Brought back memories, as kids we must have worn out the record one Christmas at my grandparents home. I bet we played it over and over about 20 times. Thanks for posting.
Randy ... or should it be Randeau ... Alvin and Julie would be SO happy listening to this ... And thank you for the medley idea ... I'll have to give you 'props' when I play it ...
Very nice medley. I'll be adding it to my Xmas repertoire also.

Tony - yes, I sure miss all the fun of that bygone era! That's wonderful that you are carrying on the family tradition! Our old accordion is long gone now, but I am grateful that the keyboards do such a fine job of emulating them.

Thanks for the listens Salsaman, Steve and Mitch! Yep Steve - that song got some "serious mileage" when we were kids! While I was playing it yesterday, the wife yelled "Alvin!" a few times! HA HA. NOTE - she calls me Alvin as a pet name so it was even more funny to hear her yell that! SX900 Rocks!

That thing sounds just like a dang old accordion. Did you hear about the guy who left his accordion in the back seat of his car? When he came back the window was broken and there were TWO of them there. Seriously, sounds great. Love old Alvin.

Haha, good one.
I have a set of 3 little battery operated chipmunks , that sing Xmas carols, reminded me so much of Alvin and co. couldn’t resist.
Randy , have to agree the accordion sounds very realistic.
One song for me that I tend to associate with accordion is La Vien Rose. Hint, hint, hint. Haha

Thanks Don! Yes, the good old days! Guess those things were "the arrangers" of their time in a manner of speaking. Different voices to choose and some degree of rhythm from the buttons on the backside. Good story about someone so anxious to part that they busted a winder! HA HA! Thanks for the listen!
