Thanks for playing that tune. My dad played accordion and that is one of the tunes he played. I watched him play and asked him if I could play accordion also. He sent me for lessons and playing accordion helps me keep in touch with my "roots". Thanks again, Fran

My father sang, hummed this to me years ago to try to lull me to sleep. I was probably 3 or 4. When I finally found out what the tune was and bought him a cassette of it 40 years later, he sort of blushed and said he changed the words a bit when I was too stubborn to go to sleep.

I miei piùsentiti complimenti!!! un caro saluto Diego Caligiuri 5*****

[nierenja]

Beautiful - so is the according music :-).

I understand there is a question about the origins of the piece. Per the copyright info on a version I have for the concertina, plus some web searching, it was written by a Czech composer and trumpet player Vaclav Blaha, and was originally published as Sukynka in Prague in 1944. It was republished in 1949 with new material, which is probably the most familiar version. The English words were written by Mitchell Parish.

Best regards, John

[gagje]

Hi Veronica, Obviously The Blue Skirt Waltz was very popular in the 1940's due to Frankie Yankovic. There is a lovely folk dance (from China?) with this music on fremontfolkdance. Worth a look.

Greetings from Ireland.

Terry.

Hi Veronica,

Once again I love your playing!! Definitely 5 stars again! I always make sure to add your videos to my play lists!! Thanks for posting your videos! I know it's hard trying to learn a lot of songs and being comfortable enough with your playing so that you can post them. Thanks very much,

Umberto

[AccordionVron]

Thank you so much for your sweet and encouraging comments upucci. It means a lot to me. =)

[oldcountrytunes]

I love the accordion and you play it so well. Terrific video. 5 stars for sure.Thanks for sending this one.

[AccordionVron]

Thank you. And thank you for posting the video. =) I lost the notes to this long ago and re-learned most of it by ear from listening to your video. My grandma's brother used to play this on his accordion. He past away before I was even born. My grandma loves hearing it on the accordion again. =) She is 88.
