I too was surprised when I started to see the popularity of the accordion for our age group. I'm happy to hear that you are playing along with us. I wish you success.
Thank you Edwin. It works both ways. When I know that people like you are watching it makes me try even harder to make an accurate video, and doing that helps my playing improve. Thank you for your support and encouragement.
I'm glad you like it. However, this is not my rendition. It's much too early in my accordion career for me to be making my own arrangements. Since I am a beginner who is mainly interested in learning the instrument, I play the piece as it appears in the sheet music of the Palmer Hughes course. I agree that many others here on YouTube play it slightly differently. Of course they are free to do that. When I get better I will want to make my own arrangements as well.
I just finished PH Book 3, but my teacher gives me a lot of supplemental material. I have tons of music books that include technique, etc. Let me know if you need anything!
Many thanks Lillo for your encouragement of my humble efforts with simple beginner pieces. I have a long way to go before I can play "Those Were The Days" even half as good as you.
Congratulations on your outstanding performance and win in Inky261's Solo Accordion Contest. You are an inspiration to all us beginners.
Your perseverance to accurately play with the correct dynamics has truely paid off. Wonderful job!!

OK, I am not the only middle-aged guy to take up the accordion late in life. Kudos! I am in the same book working on the same song.
