This is one of my favourite tunes that I'm having a go at myself. Really well played Mike, I especially like all the little embellishments you add to it :)
Mike, I have not gotten to the end of the video yet but I find this video wonderful.
It reminds me of children on merry-go-round of horses going up and down at the circus. remember? Do not worry about mistakes. They are a big part of life. My channel would not have even ONE video if I keep them off because of mistakes. They all have boo-boos in them. I give you 5 *****
Mike, I love your choice of locations for this video. I know exactly what you mean about "camera on" and "camera off". I throw away so many videos that I goof up on with the camera on. But with the camera off, I can play it without error. However, I could not notice any errors in this piece. This sounded just great to me. I love polkas and this was beautiful. Best wishes, Fran
Hi Mike, I fully understand your comment on the camera and performances. Almost like singing in the shower and then singing at karaoke. Anyway, I agree with accordionman331, really great job and I think everyone should learn this tune. Nicely done....
UP YA BUOYA mike wa a tune i love this tune. i think the law should be every accordion player should play this i will have to get this uploaded. and its a fantastic tribute to the brilliant jimmy shand.
Perfect Mike! Boy do I know the problems of that damned camera too!!!. But you did a great job on this grand old polka. Most interesting to hear the Allodi also. I'll be on the phone to Emilio on Tuesday and he'll be delighted to see his brand being featured.
This is the tempo that works best for this song. If Played too fast and you can't dance, and it loses the bouncy fun character. Well done.
