I think it's kinda cool to think about, how you ended up in a desert with pink hair, a cowboy hat and a childrens accordion. :-) I like not knowing. It makes me feel happy. :-D

[hnek]

@ShilaWaah ;^)

[u3of52]

Nice job .. the little accordion sounds nice! I like that song. Sweeney's men .. I think? Anyway .. In the song didn't the Captain's wife take a liking to her - thinking that she was a he?. I don't know .. maybe I got it all messed up. :)

[hnek]

@u3of52 Yes she did!! hee hee :^)

[lediableestpasla]

haaaaaaaaaaa ok i want to learn it i dont want to ear some dumb bith that think shes cool thanks for nothing slu...

[FurryFanatic101]

awww i only have the button Melodian version of that instrument! I wish i had the miniature accordion version! DX

[taichifest]

You are a flower in the desert.

[hnek]

@taichifest well gosh ::blushes:: thank you.

[eminem4infinity]

hey(: i really liked that!! especially the accordion bit ;) i am totaly new to the accordion, but have just bought a mini like yours, do you mind giving me the tab? thankyou :D

[hnek]

@eminem4infinity wow, uh, I just made it up by listening to the song and figuring it out.... It's from a record called ...ahem...Blow, Boys Blow by Ewan McCall and A.L. Lloyd. I can't seem to post the link...

[eminem4infinity]

@hnek aaw thanks(: got it now... i thought it was by kate bush, but turns out its an old traditional folk song, at least i think so :D

[helicoptered]

You'd have to be really poor if you was young, using that mini accordion to support yourself for a living...

[hnek]

@helicoptered I am really poor, and this was not a way to make a living. It's just for fun. I'd heave to get a whole lot better to start busking for real with it.

[helicoptered]

@hnek Just play your heart out, as long as you can get yourself some food & clothes, interesting. I've got a big synthesizer, but this mini squeeze is cute

[IamNotTheMoon]

There is something quite surreal about a woman singing a song about the sea in the middle of a desert

[hnek]

@IamNotTheMoon I agree.

[RagaMuffinRavynTV]

@hnek Like the childs accordion that you have.

I would love to be able to play mine.... xD

[hnek]

@RagaMuffinRavynTV thanks. It's pretty easy, and also difficult cuz it's so tiny.

[voomdama]

Great voice! You should post more songs!

[hnek]

@voomdama Thank you. I need another accordion. Not crazy style-y just that same crap accordion. I can't work more than an octave and a few buttons. But thank you all the same.

[carnutter360]

absolutely wonderful singing, love the use of chords you do.

please post more videos

[hnek]

@carnutter360 maybe I can post more from that vid when I can get my computer working. I would love to sing and play accordion some more though. Thank you.

[anderaina]

great voice and playing

[hnek]

@anderaina My voice was so burnt out, that's why it's only like thirty seconds instead of the 10 minutes of me being all groggy and cranky.... But thank you.

[RagaMuffinRavynTV]

Could you do a tutorial of this and other basic song on that kind of accordion? I just bought one and I'm totally lost.

[hnek]

@RagaMuffinRavynTV like an actual accordion or the one like I had which was a child's mini accordion?

[Rei328]

Cool I play the Mini accordion too and have blue hair :O

[hnek]

@Rei328 I think we should sing a duet.

[ajittffcure]

Very nice accordion and nice playing.

[hnek]

@ajittffcure

[design321]

Sweet! Thanks for posting.

[Timothydlol]

great!

[itsaguinness]

Burning Man?  good rendition

[marciashubby]

Hey Sis,

Good stuff.

My wife brought me home an accordian that is the exact duplicate of yours. Do you know anything about yours; I can't find a maker's mark on mine (she got it at a thrift store)

ThanksReed

[clubcardpoints]

"(she got it at a thrift store)"

need we say anymore!

[hnek]

yeah, it's just a crap kind of chinese made (redundant!) kid's accordion. I think one I had was called Child Prodigy, and another just had like a star on it for a brand.

They don't last long. but they're just the right size for me...I'm hard pressed to find one that actually is well made yet that size.

[HectorAwol]

I love this! Brilliant plaing and singing! I too play squeeze box! Great!

[hnek]

well thank you. I appreciate it.

[cldscp]

cool hair

[hnek]

thanks!

[IckleBefny]

Thats really lovely :)

Where did you learn how to play? I have been searching the internet and its very unhelpful! But you seem to know what you're doing, and i would be very grateful if you told me how you know how to do it!

Thanks x

[hnek]

I just taught myself by listening to the songs and trying to copy them. I'm not very good at all, though...This is one tiny bit where I didn't make any mistakes.

[IckleBefny]

Well, i am impressed!! And i think you are good.. I guess i better keep tryuing :P x

[ztubs6]

so typical of me but i'll say it- what a cutie. anyway- i just got a mini accordion and i should have some videos up soon - nice song and voice

[hnek]

Thanks, I really appreciate ....uh...appreciation...!!

My mini is broke so I gotta get a new one to practice on. Although I was really angry at it and threw it into the dust of the playa one day so it's not JUST the shoddy craftmanship....What I would like is one just like it only made WELL.

[54purple]

Possibly the best version ever !

No kidding. Really good.

[hnek]

Oh, uh thanks! :^) Maybe someday I'll be able to play longer than 30 seconds without messing up....

[ostiapyrosis]

eeeeeeeeeeeee :D!!!

YOU JUST BLEW ALL MY CUTE FUSES

<3

also can I come to burning man it looks awesome.

[hnek]

hee hee. Man I don't even know if I can make it this year...but it would be great to have you there!

[hultonclint]

yup, A.L. Lloyd.

good one!

[hnek]

thanks. Or, yes I agree, it is a good song.

:^)
