Are you speaking German fluently too? Are you come sometimes to visit Germany or Austria?

For me Austria is one of the most beautiful states in Europe, because of Alps, lakes and pastures in alps :D

[steirischeknopf]

Yes I speak fluent German. I have been to Austria in 2006, in Karnten. Close to Slovenia. My cousin is playing in some of my videos. He plays lot's of Slovenian songs too. Thanks!

[Andrejc89]

hello steirischeknopf! my question is if you have this song in mp3 format because i like this song and i want to learn it on accordion. I was looking for this song by emule and i didnt find it. If you can help, welcome!

[steirischeknopf]

I do not have this song in mp3 format, but I will try and get it for you! Thanks!

[Andrejc89]

Thanks steirischeknopf! Just one question. Are you from germany?

[steirischeknopf]

I was born in Canada and live in Canada, close to Toronto. My Father is from Austria and my Mother from Germany.

[Voodoozeko]

@steirischeknopf Is your father Carinthian Slovene? (Carinthia=Karnten)

[Andrejc89]

This is old Slovenian (Slovenia-central Europe) accordion and it sounds very good. I am from Slovenia and i have played accordion since 1999. Man on video tape is playing tipical old Slovenian song, and believe me he is not a begginer. This is old playing style. // Sorry about language, because i am not speaking english so fluently //

[steirischeknopf]

Yes, Thank You for Your comment!!

[Gwuba]

Is he really the king of polka?

Because he sounds like a begginer.

[Volfmaster]

Wow very nice playing...

[steirischeknopf]

Thanks!

[accordion25]

Great Job Walter, I know the first song is Tony's Polka, the second sounds like a Jake

Zaggar original, cannot remember though.
