She is fantastic! She is actually playing a piece titled "Luci e Ombre"; it is a musette dance but "Boum Musette" is an altogether different musette dance.

a nice homage to Rudy Cipolla's first band. Great job David! Thank you performing it so well.

Goosebumps! misterioso! encantato!

Congratulations on your 50 years! I am sending best wishes!

You always hate the one you love? I think that's the title Jimmy!

absolutely the most lovely waltz rendered here by the composer and Simkus. Where might I purchase the sheet music? Also, what year was this recorded?

artistry, passion, and a fabulous arrangement. Somehow the Liberace appellation may in someways denigrate what Lovello accomplishes here. But I do appreciate the opportunity to be able to enjoy it in a pure acoustic ambiance. Thank you for posting these priceless examples.

a (painfully) honest history of how the accordion went astray but thank goodness it has been boosted, cherished, and preserved by the Petosa family. Grazie Mille.

@Fisarmonica46 Grazie! I like it so much, it is like watching an old film, slightly out of sync put stitched together beautifully. I imagine it played in the background of an unknown Orson Wells movie, or a film taking place in a raunchy section of Rio. SVP, le partition?

his voice is even better with age. I had no idea he played guitar...and beautifullly.

Guerino is also the composer. And this date certainly jives when Django was in Paris...and surely, they may have played together. the dramatis personae lists him et. al. hmmmmmmm.

l'harmonia bellissima! merci pour le partition Jimmy! je voudrais de voir les mains SVP

precision, elegance, spritely, mischievous and the audience couldn't wait to applaud.

we are so lucky to see these giants once again. Merci, Sheri

Je préfère votre 'interpretations. c'est très jolie comme vous jouez. Tempo est constante et parfait pour les danceurs aussi. SVP, upload plus! J'aime la bal musette.

Je voudrais d'entendre plus. Merci.

composed by Italian immigrant to France, accordionist Joe Colombo. It is part of the bal musette tradition although a bit too exotic for the regular repertoire. Thanks for posting this lovely rendition with human snowflake.

it's funny that she perpetuated the misnaming of this song for the largely American audience even though she made a clear point about it's actual theme.

This is a jewel of a musette. thank you for publishing it.

Magnifique! I love your tender interpretation. I'm glad you are facing 'us'--I enjoy watching you caress the buttons!! Great job Jimmy! Bravo!! Your friend in Petaluma!

Where's the rest of it???

are they getting ready to stampede? yet, they seemed to be keeping their distance. but curiosity gets to them! but wait, one is holding out! he's waiting for a polka!

Jimmy, isn't this Midnight in Moscow?

amo questa mazurka, che nome? per piacere! vorrei sapere, grazie, Sheri

I agree and who creates these fabulous arrangement? He adheres to the melodic line, sparkles with jazz spice and yet never loses the beauty of the music while his technique is superb. I've heard William Schimmel--who has to be one of the top, if not the top accordionists in the world. This fellow...

a second hearing makes me think his left hand has such facility and the sense of humor and timing just puts him over the top. Amazing performer who could singlehandedly catapult the accordion to its proper status.

Ciao, well, finally someone plays Mammete exactly as it should be. I hope to come to play some music with you some day! Thank you for letting me see the front of your accordion. love the ending! It's so much fun...but the second song I do not recognize... is it Napoli? are there 2 tarantellas ...
