Accordion - The Military Medley

Happy Fourth of July, my fellow Americans!
1776 - 2010

Well, here's the most patriotic thing that I know; a medley of the United States Armed Forces theme songs.

1.) The Marine's Hymn (US MARINE CORP)
2.) The Caissons Go Rolling Along (US ARMY)
3.) Semper Paratus (US COAST GUARD)
4.) Anchors Aweigh (US NAVY)
5.) Off We Go Into the Wild Blue Yonder (US AIRFORCE)

Two stories accompany this video:

1.) While digging through the box that my computer came in, I found one of those cords that I needed to record my accordion on the computer, and it was long enough to film myself playing! So, because the veterans deserve the best of quality, I plugged it in for this song.

2.) This took all day to upload because it's over 90 degrees here, and my computer kept overheating and bluescreening (curse you Microsoft). I had to let it cool down for two hours before even attempting to publish the movie from Windows Movie Maker. So, sorry about the wait.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Wonderful. Seriously go on america's got talent or something.

You are amazing and i love every song you play.

I am putting this on my mp3 player.

@littleamigo926 Yeah, I'll never forget a clip I saw of "AGT" in which two accordion players did a duet. First of all, as soon as they appeared, one of the judges put his head in his hands and hit the buzzer before they even started. They started playing and (I don't know how credible I am, but,) they were GOOD, far better than anything I could've performed. They were immediately buzzed off by all three judges because (and I quote), "The only thing worse than an accordion is 2 accordions".

Nice job. Try cleaning the heat sink in your computer, by the way.

[FromTheGang]

@Lahirien Already did that, and that alone lowered the CPU's temperature by 10 degrees. The computer has a fan in the back, a fan on the top, two fans on the video cards, and a fan on the side. Also, I removed the walls of it and have a huge table fan blowing through it as well. And even that's barely enough to keep it cool enough to run in hot weather.

Yeah, it has a heating problem.

Isn't the marine's hymn also something to do with Montezuma? Or that's the other name?

[FromTheGang]

@Deckof51 "The Halls of Montezuma". It's the first line of the hymn.

"From the halls of Montezuma

to the shores of Tripoli.

We will fight our country's battles

in the air, on land and sea."

Your accordion sound permeates my heart.

I enjoy your accordion playing from Japan.

That doesn't sound like a fair reason....

[142Suzie142]

Do you have sheet music for this selection that you could send me? :) It's brilliant! 

[MrChickenZombie]

@FromTheGang Well, how about your mad pipe organ skills?
