  • Great sound, sounds like fun, my compliments to both of you.

  • Wow! I am amazed and so glad I found this video. This is excellent editing. I thought Sinead Ho was visiting you and playing in your living room. Very well done Sinead and Mike. Very good performance and I enjoyed this very much. Fran

  • @AccordionLadyMi Hello Fran! This video was a COMPLETE surprise to me!! I had no idea that Jeremy had taken my original and copied it to his video which he played back on his widescreen TV (and he NEEDED a w/screen to fit me in!!) and then Sinead played live in front of TV.

    I was quite moved by this, especially the clever editing at the end where she seems to talk to me!!

    Have a lovely day.

    Mike

  • Very lovely presentation. Well done and played !

    Markku

  • @makentv Hey Markku. Thanks for looking at this - it was a complete surprise for me, when I received the edited video from Jeremy Ho, I was very pleased that someone would want to do this.

    Mike

  • @alainhammond Ha! ha! I am only 1 year younger! Yes, I too must have many hours in the day, so I can get my fingers to act properly!

    Have a great week end Alain.

  • @alainhammond Dear Alain - I am good at making people think I am good, but I really am only very average. There is so much more I wish I could do, fast jazz, very fast runs up & down the keyboard, improvisation, but I am so limited. I have only started playing accordion again after a break of nearly 24 years, and I have forgotten SO much, and now I am too old to improve - but I enjoy what I CAN do.

  • Sounds very good!

    Bravo 10*

    Amelia:)

  • @grazamel Hello Amelia, thank you for watching this video. Sinead added to my original video (and covered up all my mistakes!!)

    Have a lovely week end

    Mike

  • @Luiesbasement By the look on Sineads' face at the end, she is very pleased (and probably relieved) that she has accomplished this.

    Thanks for listening.

  • @alainhammond ANYONE can play better than me, Alain! In my dreams I am a world entertainer, in real life the world entertains me. Sinead and Sean (musicfamily) have music "in them" and I think they have a good chance of a pleasant future.

    Mike

  • HELLO MIKE AND SINEAD,I ENJOYED THIS VERY MUCH AND IT BROUGHT BACK HAPPY MEMORIES AS IT WAS THE FIRST VYNIL SINGLE I BOUGHT WITH MY FIRST WAGES WHEN I STARTED WORK,THEY WERE THE 10" ONES AND IT WAS PLAYED BY JIMMY SHAND.THANKYOU FOR POSTING AND KEEP EM COMING MIKE.BEST WISHES FROM DEREK.OH AND I VERY MUCH ENJOYED YOUR RENDITION OF AUTUMN LEAVES.

  • @drjazzisme Good to hear from you Derek. Thanks for listening to this and also Autumn Leaves. If I have a couple of glasses of Irish velvet over the week end, I may have the courage to try and play the Six Twenty Two Step! (Trouble is, at the moment, it sounds more like a waltz!!)

    Have a good week end,

    Mike

  • Very good!!!!!!!

    Hugo.

  • @musimedic Thank you Huge on behalf of Sinead.

  • Wow I loved this little duet so well done by both the instructor and the student. Beautiful work Thanks Mike I enjoyed this.

    5000000&&&&&*********

    Ron!

  • @Rhawneld57 Thanks Ron - I really did nothing, Sinead played all the right notes, in the right order at the right time - unlike me!

  • @Delmontedel Yes she is quite the little actress. Also very well played by Sinead. I didn't know her name but this comment is now for her & You Mike. It was a wonderful duet.!

  • sure did bring a smile to my face - Love it - Greetings - nozie

  • @nozie1234 Thanks Nozie - it is all Jeremy and Sinead's work. I just fill the TV screen like Buddha!

  • very very well Done Sinead!!! tons of green thumbs!!!!

  • That was lovely mike the little girl made me smile when she said Yes!!! at the end really lovely, regards  Nigel

  • @nigelzzr Hi Nigel. I was very surprised when I received the edited vid from Jeremy, as I had no idea this was being done. My "that'll do" on the original was because I had tried at least 6 times before that take to play without too many mistakes, and on that one, my sentiments were:that'll do. I am impressed how Jeremy incorporated that.

  • Mike, I must apologise for carrying on a conversation with Jeremy while you and Sinead are performing! It is very bad manners but the ulterior motive is that we are bumping up the comment ratings and getting more listens to the great video. well that's my excuse.......Jeremy talks in his sleep!

    Wow! Look at all those honours!

  • @geoff1945 Mike, Geoff did he again!! Our music were never the reason for achieving MOST DISCUSSED status. Geoff's gossips are!

  • @musicfamily - No I'll share that honor with Sinead and Mike....and it takes two to gossip, Jeremy. Ha!

  • @geoff1945 That's Geoff and Dona.

  • @musicfamily Dona doesn't gossip! Jeremy. You and I do!

  • @geoff1945 Oh don't mention it! I'm used to being ignored!! A couple weeks ago I was asked to play in a music pub in Ballyvourney. I tried to say that my music was not right for pub atmospheres, more for a restaurant or gentle hotel entertainment. However, they insisted and I duly played. Trad Irish pub, so me in the corner behind the 126 year old Guiness drinker and a cloud of smoke. Played for nearly 3 hours, no one listened, I got paid and went home! Such is the life of a

    nobody!

  • @Delmontedel Today my friend, you are the Most Discussed Musician in Ireland!! Yeahh!!! Most successful artistes start off that way. I am glad to know you are able to play for 3 hours, that's a fantastic portfolio of songs. If I ever have money, I would open a pub and allow patrons to play whatever they like on my stage.

  • @Delmontedel - so you come onto youtube where obviously a large number of people consider you to be a somebody special and put up with the ocassional argumentitive types in a corner knowing that it was you who caused them to be here in the first place. ......enough crawling yet, my gracious friend? LOL Oh and for god's sake somebody send Sinead's Dad a pair of blue suade shoes.

  • @geoff1945 I was going to send a pair of what i thought were suede, but my friend said they were crépe - I didn't think they were THAT bad!!

  • @Delmontedel - Ha-ha! Yes I think I like your crepe sense of humour, Mike.

  • @hamiltonrrw The squeeze box breaking down due to Hong Kong's bad weather. A key got stuck. Time for some WD40. I am serious because no music shop in Hong Kong would want to accept an accordion so I have to maintain it myself like a car.

  • two thumbs up! very talented :)

  • @BlueSkyFalling I am pleased that Sinead's playing covered up my mistakes!

  • nice! very talented :)

  • @BlueSkyFalling Hi - Thanks for listening. Sinead is a very good player.

    Have a great week.

    Mike

  • @Delmontedel BlueSkyFalling are 2 talented girls from CA. They are in a rock band.

  • Hi MIke, you have a nice young partner, perfect duet!!

    Istvan

  • @Accordioncrasy Thank you Istvan. It was a pleasant surprise as I had no idea that Jeremy Ho was making this edited video. I think Sinead did a very good job.

    have a nice week Istvan.

  • @Accordioncrasy Thanks Istvan. Mike is teaching Sinead another accordion duet. So stay tuned.

  • Well done for playing with musicfamily and still coming out looking like an expert, Mike. These guys have a way of making even the best look mediocre next to them.

    Yes, I loved the ending. Jeremy has splashed out on some hi-tech video editor! There goes the kids pocket-money.......and new shoes..... and university.....and boat hire........LOL

  • Comment removed

  • @tamyk007 - Don't worry Tamy! Sorry but its an in-joke I share with musicfamily. If you have a few years to spare you can follow the story through our channels but its really quite boring and you'd be happier listening to more of this beautiful music. LOL

    Geoff

  • @geoff1945 :) Sinead made me look good, Geoff. It was a complete surprise to me (a pleasant one) when I received the edited video from Jeremy as I had no idea this had been done.

    Thank you for listening.

  • @geoff1945 There was no editing. It was all live playing. I played Mike's video on our new TV and captured the whole thing live, that's all. That's a faster way of making collab videos than using software editors. :P

  • @musicfamily - but Jeremy it may be faster but is it cheaper? That T'v' must have made a big hole in Sean's pocket money and he's still paying for the guitar you broke! Seriously though, you could not do this with the old television sets so in a way I was right about you splashing out ! Ha! Great effect isn't it.

  • @geoff1945 We were hoping to get Sinead a scholarship with this video!! C'mon old friend, contribute your bit.

  • @musicfamily - With her wide talent, Sinead should get a free scholarship. I've already offered you my share of the Beatles royalties and my first comment on this video is a testimonial to her extraordinary ability not just to perform but with so many instruments and such flair. Now can I write a testimonial for you?

  • @geoff1945 I have basic needs.... I just want another pair of suede shoes.

  • @geoff1945 Funny you should mention Sean. I promised him my Fender mustang would be his when I am dead. Next, he asked me when will I die!?!?!

  • Yes .......

    SUPER BRAVA 10*

    Natalka :O)

    Pozdrawiam z Polski

  • @kowbar Dziękuję, drodzy Natalka. To była miła niespodzianka dla mnie - nie wiedziałem, że ojciec Sineads robił ten film wideo. Byłem bardzo zadowolony i czuł się dumny, że ktoś będzie chciał to zrobić. Miłego tygodnia.

    Mike

  • @hamiltonrrw Thank you - all credit to Sinead for some really nice playing (and for covering up my bloopers!)

    Mike

  • YES!!! Great video! Thank you two very much.

  • @MrJintoFong Thank you for watching this. It is the result of some good work by Sinead and her father, Jeremy.

  • YES :-) This video made my day! Thanks for sending Jeremy!

    Wow Sinead you learn VERY fast - respect respect!

    Very well done - and without sheet music!

    Mike seems to be a good virtual teacher.

    All my green thumbs up to both of you and regards to the editor

    Sabine

  • @SabMei1 Hello Sabine. I really and honestly have done nothing - it is all credit to Sinead and musicfamily for her progress with accordion. If I have had an influence, then I am very happy, but the hard work is down to Sinead.

    Mike

  • @SabMei1 Next is Sabine on the big screen playing guitar.

  • Very interesting, Mike! You were in the monitor, the Chinese - at her home in Hong Kong? How can such things be made technically?

  • @MartynSerge Hello Martyn, I hope you are well. Jeremy Ho did all the technical magic. He must have hooked up the computer to a TV screen (and I see he had to use wide-screen to fit all of me in!! ha ha :) ) and then played my video back while Sinead played in real time and he video'd it all at once. Jeremy then sent me the video by a "zip" document in my messages, and all I had to do was to open the file and upload as normal.

    Hope you will play for us soon.

    Mike

  • @Delmontedel Mike, how else could I make Sinead look slimmer? :P

  • Comment removed

  • @tamyk007 You are correct Tam. I do hope that Jeremy uploads it on the musicfamily channel. It was a very nice surprise for me to receive the video.

    Have a good week,

    Mike (from VERY rainy and windy Ireland!!)

  • Comment removed

  • @Delmontedel Mike, the result is much better on your channel. Now we get to make some new Accordion friends.

  • @musicfamily I am pleased that this has worked out. I, too, have made some new friends.

  • Hi Mike, and Sinead,

    A wonderful performance by both of you my friend!!!

    Super!!! "Two Thumbs Up!"

    Best Regards Always Mike,

    Dwayne

  • @ilovetrains63 Dear Dwayne - in reality, I was the one making mistakes, and Sinead was gracious enough to play the right ones for me :) It was a complete surprise (a nice one) to receive this from musicfamily.

    Thanks for watching.

    Mike

  • Sinead is really making great progress in her accordion technique--excellent job!!

    Hey Mike --you were great too!

    Wonderful vid.

  • @NancyMbWpg I think Sinead did a great job AND she covered up all my mistakes!!

    Thanks for listening Nancy.

  • @NancyMbWpg Thank you Nancy. We are happy Sinead is able to do it from Mike's virtual tutoring. We have watched his YouTube performance many times. We hope to perform this song live soon.

  • ooh very cool. very happy.

  • @eepghd Thank you, double E! I was really very nicely surprised when the video was sent to me.

    Have a wonderful week.

  • Felicidades a Sinead y a tí ha sido una gran colaboración,*****

    Pilar

  • @Pilarfay Hola Pilar, Gracias por ver este video. Sinead cubiertos todos mis errores tontos:)

  • What a wonderful video. I will surely comment in musicfamily's channel.

    Leon

  • @myaccordionhistory Thanks Leon. It was a really nice surprise when Jeremy sent the video to me. I had sent the sheet music some time ago, but I never thought that this would be the outcome - I love her smile at the end, and clever editing by Jeremy.

  • Fantastisco questo Video Bravo Sinead!!! Bravo Mike!!! 10***

    Paolo

  • @picador100 Ciao caro Paolo. Grazie per il tuo commento bello. Ero così sorpreso quando ho ricevuto il video da Jeremy, suo padre - e molto soddisfatto. Buona settimana.

  • bravo à tous les deux !

  • @tazmila Merci de regarder cette vidéo. Avoir une belle semaine. Mike

  • Great job !! Sinead and Mike one of my favorite polkas..

    Derby

  • @Derbymuscian Hello Derby. Thank you for watching this. I was very surprised and honoured when I received this edited video from Jeremy Ho - it was a total surprise!

    Have a good week,

    Mike

  • @Delmontedel We all like the last part where Mike said "That will do!!".

  • @musicfamily OH! I think the BEST part is when Sinead says "YES!!" and punches the air - that, for me, is very clever thinking on your part! I am pleased that you are getting all these lovely comments.

  • @Delmontedel YES!!!

  • ¡¡¡Que dúo tan encantador!!! genial, mis felicitaciones a Sinead, y a ti Mike, me ha encantado de verdad

    Saludos

    Marieli

  • @mlasagabaster Gracias Mariei - Yo estaba muy sorprendido y muy contento cuando Jeremy Ho me ha enviado este vídeo con jugar Sinead. Hizo que mi corazón canta!

    Mike

  • Wow, fantastic :-) Sinead, you have played this so wonderfull. What a joy to see this.

    And what a great editing.

    I have to say I like to see more of you. Lots of stars for both of you and the editor.

    ******************************­***

  • @49Eleonora Thank you Nora. I will send a copy of your comment to Sineaad.

    Greetings from Argentina.

    Jose

  • @acordeonhobby Thank you José. I will pass on the comment to Sinead.

    Have a lovely week.

    Mike

  • Thank you Mike, for teaching me this happy song.

    Love, Sinead

  • @musicfamily Dear Sinead, YOU did all the hard work and I am impressed that you could also learn the sheet music and play it from memory! I was very happy that you chose to play this with me, you played so well. Maybe we will do another one soon!? (Not such a fast one, as I am VERY old and my fingers cannot move so quickly!!)

    Bye for now,

    Mike
