Une valse rétro mais toujours aussi jolie.

félicitations pour votre très belle interprétation.

Salutations de la France.

André

[terrygrif]

@guyotville06 Merci beaucoup André! En Francais cette valse s'appelle?

[guyotville06]

@terrygrif Cette valse s'appelle "étoile des neiges" Chanson écrite par Loulou Gastié, interprétée par Line Renaud et reprise par Simon et les Modanais en 1987.

Bonne soirée

André

Dear Terry ...the warm and cozy room sets the stage for your wonderful sentimental accordion music. Thanks for sharing the beauty of it all. With love from Canada, Evy

[adysim2]

fantastic ,, u play superb a great skill xxxxx

[terrygrif]

@adysim2 Thank you very much for your kind, if undeserved, compliment. I don't know about the 'skill' but I do enjoy playing this lovely old waltz. It holds dear memories for me. Greetings from Ireland. Terry.

[musicfamily]

Terry, I think you are a good accordion player even if you had not have formal training. There are many in YT that put up wonderful videos even though they are learner, like ourselves. You have done such great jobs before and I hope you can continue to play and post.

[Inky261]

super

[clarebannerman]

Lovely playing Terry........

[terrygrif]

@clarebannerman Many thanks Mike. I haven't put any vids in past year. I began to realise that I really wasn't at the level of most musicians. Now I am more involved in Irish trad sessions around Sligo .... and the odd time in Clare!!! Am enjoying it immensely. Terry

[niciFI]

wow terry!! that sounds so great!!! I really like it!

hug from Switzerland

Nicole

[terrygrif]

@niciFI Well Nicole I know it's not your kind of music but I am very happy that you liked it. This song is very special for me because when I play it I remember a lovely girl who died too young. Now I want to go to Switzerland and play accordion with the great musicians in the Alps!!!! Hope we see you soon in Ireland. x

[FunStuffAus]

I am very glad you picked up the accordion again after so many years. I enjoyed your playing. Greetings from Australia :-)

[terrygrif]

@FunStuffAus Thank you for your kind comment. It's great to meet music-loving friends around the world. It's wonderful to have the family enjoy music together. Greetings from the Emerald Isle! Terry

[Therehasbeenan]

A Celtic song!

[terrygrif]

@Therehasbeenan I'm not sure of the origins of this song. I am told by my French friends that it is well known in France. Of course it was a popular song in the 1940's recorded by Perry Como. So take your pick! Many thanks. Terry.

[ChristianInHollywood]

@terrygrif In France it is known as "Étoile des Neiges". :o) But, the original is called "Fliege mit mir in die Heimat". It was composed by Austrian Franz Winkler.

[nochunbekannt]

Nick.

[terrygrif]

@Wildrover434 Yes, grand old song Nick. It has long been one of my favourites. Did you notice I changed accordions?

Terry.

[Wildrover434]

@terrygrif Yes as soon as you started to play the other one,it sounds like the same tuning as the late great Jimmy Shand's accordians.

Nick.

[terrygrif]

@Wildrover434 If only I had the talent of ONE of Jimmy Shand's fingers!!!!!

[terrygrif]

@Wildrover434 If only I had the talent of ONE of Jimmy Shand's fingers!!!!!

Beautiful playing, Terry, with a fine sense of color, tonality and musical technique!

Gorgeous sounds coming from that very fine accordion!

This is very delightful music, indeed!

Lillo, you are a great friend. Thank you for all your encouragement.

Saluti,

Terry.

[HungryHillboy]

Thats a really nice tune Terry, it sounds great!

[terrygrif]

Many thanks Neil. It's not an Irish tune but it has been very popular in Ireland for many years - especially for people who like a good old-time waltz!.

Terry.

[Rhawneld57]

I loved this waltz and how well you played it I am sure with great feeling indeed. Thanks for this lovely song Terry. I have heard this one before. You have a great touch.

Ron 5/5/5/5/5/5/5/5**********

[terrygrif]

I am particularly glad that you like this little melody Ron. It's special to me in that it reminds me of absent - though never forgotten - friends. I only hope I do it justice.

May your year be full of everything you desire and deserve.

Terry

[Rhawneld57]

You did it justice all right it was wonderful.

May your year be filled with enough of what you need. Always.

Ron!

[Accordioncrasy]

I love this song after the first listening. I think, one of my accordions look very alike than yours (HOHNER Imperator IV, with casotto) -Istvan

[terrygrif]

Thank you Istvan for your kind comment. I have a Borsini (Italian) and also a Hohner.

I like both for different reasons.

Terry.

[moonbeam0013]

This is extremely beautiful and very well played.

[terrygrif]

Thank you very much. Great to have you back Margriet. Looking forward to more of your music and news.

Health and happiness in 2010!

Warm greetings from a cold Ireland!

Terry.

[Pilarfay]

Preciosa melodía, muy bien interpretada. 5*****. Pilar

[terrygrif]

Muchisimas gracias Pilar. Estoy muy contento que te gusta.

Terry.

[AccordionLadyMi]

How did I miss seeing this one Terry? This is a beautiful melody and you play it so well. The words are so beautiful. Thank you for this fine performance. Fran

[terrygrif]

Thank you so much Fran. Research on internet informs me that the song was recorded by Perry Como in the '40's. In my case it reminds me of absent friends so it is particularly close to me.

Warm regards from cold Ireland.

Terry.

[mlasagabaster]

Muy bonita Terry, tocada con mucho gusto 5*****

Marieli

[terrygrif]

Hola Marieli,

Gracias. Eres siempre muy simpatica. Sí, es una canción que me gusta mucho puesto que trae recuerdos de unas amigas tan queridas.

Saludos desde un país muy frío!

Terry.

[puckett456]

good accordion players are very rare. you are terriffic. very talented. i enjoyed listening . wish i could give you more than 5stars. god bless, margie

[terrygrif]

Thank you very much Margie. I appreciate the compliment. However I do not consider myself either terrific or talented - only as someone who enjoys playing even at my basic level. And if it gives pleasure to other people then that is a great bonus for me. Happy New Year - with lots of good music!

Terry.

Kyrah

[terrygrif]

Many thanks Kyrah. Great old song. I see from internet that this song was recorded in the 40's by Perry Como.

Perhaps you would upload a video of "Tulips from Amsterdam" sometime - one of my favourite songs.

Happy New Year,

Terry.

[Delmontedel]

Wonderful tune, Terry. You play this so well and the accordion looks as if it was made to measure!

God bless you for a good New Year.

Mike

[terrygrif]

Mike, many thanks. You're a real tonic. It's great to get support in this learning process. Sometimes you begin to wonder if it's one step forward - two steps back!!! LOL

Happy New Year to you and yours.

Terry.

[carrolly2k]

Just wonderful Terry!

[terrygrif]

You are always so positive Jim. Thank you. We are having cold snowy weather here so it's a good time to get in some accordion practice.!

Happy 2010.

Terry.
