I listen to talent like this on the box, and I think of a couple of good Accordion players coming on to the America's got Talent show auditions a couple of years back. They got to play about eight bars of a tune when they were buzzed by Piers Morgan who told them in his smart arse way "There is only one thing worse than an accordion player and thats two accordion players" Ye Gods........!
the guy Tomislav Latinkic referenced below is good but not in the same style as Myron. Still, different areas, different eras, music played make for a good horserace! I still prefer Myron! And just because he was a member of the Welk Band from my neck of the woods! Bottom line: good music reigns. Now if we could just eliminate rap and hippity-hop music...........!!!! LOL!
@fumingriley There never was a western accordeonist that could compare to any of the good Jugoslavian accordeonists. Both Myron and Jo Ann, god bless'em, would have been rejected for a TV show over there, and they still would be rejected today. Don't believe me? Take a look at "Tomislav Latinkic - Soborsko oro" here on youtube.
Jo Ann Castle eats him for lunch. Look at her fingering on Get Happy, about a minute in. Myron's good, but Jo Ann is definitely IT on the accordion, and on the whorehouse piano. Check out her early take on the Sheik of Araby.
@brustdiesel No way, Myron was the best. Joann was good but Myron could do it all, swing, big band, polka, classical; there'll never be another like him.
Absolutely excellent! Boogie woogie has always been my favorite style of music. Myron makes that accordian sound like the Tommy Dorsey orchestra in a box! That is amazing how he can do the boogie bass with the buttons on the left side!
Absolutely, the greatest accordionist that ever existed! Watch some of these others who are good, but can't handle the base work that Myron did. Ask anyone who plays the accordion, and I'm sure they will agree!
The World of Accordions Museum in Superior, Wis. holds a collection of your uncle Charles' items. If you're interested in knowing that... It's an awesome collection!!!
If you like accordian music, you should hear James Last's "Biscaya".

@3lmaiDy jugoslavian folk is difficult like classical music and people there play so good, but the style is another thing

I have been in love with Myron since 1956 when we got our first TV as a teenager.
