[Caitlynsirisheyes]

Okay I'm not going to lie....... In the beginning I was like in time you will become a fast player..... Well you did in a matter of seconds !!! Awesome!

[TS175]

Awesome!!!

[Theangeliosilva]

i don't like that music if u have an accordion, you maight play norteño or tejano music (: congratulations :D

[Mikrolisk]

Way cool!

[clubcardpoints]

excellent. i've just posted a very bad version on my piano acc. type in 'clubcardpoints'. very well timed by the way

[HectorAwol]

I wish I could play like this brilliant accordionist! I don't know this tune but it is very refreshing!

[moses1998]

YAY i can do this obn d violin sooooo fast!!!!!!!! How about anyone else on any other instrument? btw this was awesome

[deslm]

Sounds pretty good! My suggestions, should you choose to take them, are as follows:

a) Don't use your right pinky at all. Many box players that have taught me in the past have advised against this because it's the weakest finger...and once you relearn your tunes with just three fingers you'll find that it's easier to get up and down the kybd. doing this.

b) It sounds like you're using a G/C box here. Get yourself a B/C or C#/D instrument if possible - these systems are more versatile.

[LadyBanshee]

:D great!!!! :) im trying to play this song on my brother's accodion inspired on you :)

[Johndunbar116]

Really nice job!!! I wish I could play the accordion!!!

[HectorAwol]

I reckon I have heard this tune before, April! Your version is played well. I play this style of instrument too so you are doing a very good job! You'll have to film more tunes and be sure to check out my tunes! Hector

[penhand101]

[jigshinny]

April ,great job, your on your way.

Rind84,what kind of jerk goes around insulting children with talent? . I shudder to think that you might actually be an adult. Good luck being part of the traditional music community with your attitude.

[88franz88]

[Rind84]

[apriloreilly13]

um, ook; conceited much? haha  and theres nothing like makin up words

[Newfie2000]

Rind84 No Need To be a Stuck Idiot... Everyone Starts Off Someplace... And if you bother to look at her new videos you can see that she is good... If you got nothing nice to say dont speak !

[splortz]

Six months out, we're still waiting for your glorious video. Is that gas I smell?

[splortz]

I was addressing rind84, of course.

[j0llygr33ng1ant]

@Rind84 2 years later, and still no video of you playing the tune.

[northbound74]

I`m impressed,april.You have talent.

[Lasgaley]

Hey you got the same accordion as me! :)

[Iamtubuler]

Sounds good. Keep it up!

[saxophonebeast]

very nice. keep practicing every day and u'll be better than drekes

[chopsuey518]

lol your my accordion hero, im learning this song this week and you are my inspiration!

[apriloreilly13]

hahaha, thanks. Have you seen Tony MacMahon playing it? Search Drekes and it should come up...

[kjenser]

That was super!

[Gaararox4]

wow

[Legertymusic]

Mighty stuff there, April. Check out my buddy Stephen's box playing on our site, you'd probably enjoy it. All the best!

Zac

[andyfedel]

good job on the squeeze box. keep playing. whether your 13 or 83 playing is something you will always have and believe me it greatly adds to the quality of life to have live music at your fingertips. thanks, good luck and take care.

[lordkoba]

Very nice!

[fieldgen]

very nice! i've got basically the same accordion, looks exactly the same even with the colour :-) but i'm happy to see that for you, it's also sort of a constant "fight", you know, that pushing and pulling, my arms always hurt after playing a couple of tunes!! but i must say i really like your playing, keep going!!

[qnz09]

hey you play pretty good im 25 and i play diatonic accordion - dominican style music- check ou tmy vids tell me what u think

[IRI5HJ4CK]

hi i play accordion, i am only 12 i've been playin it 4 2 years, check out my videos if u are interested in accordion, i've won competitions all around ireland a few in wales, and a few other places

enjoy!!!

[JingleJoe]

you need pirate clothes and a tricorn hat on to play this song properly ;) ha ha its great though! keep up the good work :D

[Stargreened]

Ah cheers joevld i just looked up Drekes on you tube and found the man himself. No one plays like Tony.

[Stargreened]

Why wouldn't Tony MacMahon just let his clip be played? I would if i was that good.

[mistermucky17]

It wasn't necessarily Tony who got it removed. All the vids from that member were removed together, so it may have been some objection to another video that got it taken off.

[martinmcmutrie]

good work - post more!

[joevld]

That would be great!!! I'm not that far that i can play it by ear only... :-( Thanks anyway...

[joevld]

I think it's great! I also have a hohner corso but C/F... Look for Drekes on you tube ;-)

April, do you have the (ehhh in english....) paper with.. how to play this number..... :-|

[apriloreilly13]

Thanks. But sorry no, i dont have the numbers; I learned this one by ear. But someday when i'm at nothing, i'll write it up for you. ;-)

[dudeacus]

Great job. Your Corso's in way better condition than mine...it was rescued from a house fire...just barely.

[AccordionStu]

well done april, I play this one myself in sessions, you play it very well.

[MikeBatten]

Awesome! It is nice to see other females keeping the accordion on the go! Great Job!

Renée

[MerlynTemple]

Wow, you're awesome with that! I love Irish music! Good job!

[TisPete]

I agree about the Tony McMahon clip. I had it as a favourite and it disappeared.

Good work by the young lass April. Keep it up.

[mongorich]

you are very talented. keep playing!

[andelh]

Is it a D/G box you have there? I see you are playing entirely on the outside row. Hohner corso, right? Nice playing anyway.

[apriloreilly13]

Yup, It's a Hohner corso, but its in g/c. And thank you.

[porkpiemariner]

nice playing!!!!!

[Wizzad75]

Awesome. Real music and not shit-hop. KUTGW.

[Roddy1965]

I know a bunch of Ryan family from Freshwater/Placentia. Great folks.

[Roddy1965]

Great work April!! Keep the tradition alive. What part of the island are you from? I lived in St. John's for 10 years, then moved to Ottawa. I hear Fogo has a strong accordian scene going. As for me, I'm just learning the whistle since September. Give 'er!

[apriloreilly13]

Thanks!  I'm on the Avalon, Freshwater - Placentia, about an hour and half from St. John's.

[Newfie2000]

Awsome!!! i am from fogo island and i have been playing the accordion for about 4 years now and its not all easy so good job. What part og the island are you from??

[TheWhistleCollector]

i was so upset that tony's clip was deleted, it was one of my favorites. very good job though, keep up the good work.
