Thanks Greg appreciate the listen

I enjoyed hearing the beautiful lead while listening to the backing accordions. Very enjoyable.

Thanks Marty, Delighted to here you enjoyed it

Graham,

I was seeing your fingers flying... then saw the "pygmies" tag and saw tiny dancing feet!
Nice interplay with rhythmn and lead accordions.
Keep up the squeezebox fun you bring to us here.

Robert

Excellent music and super performance Graham

This sound makes me happy

Sergio

Thanks Robert, will try & come up with some more livlier tunes soon I hope

I know I say it every time, but I really do love the sound of an accordion! I wish more people played it, but I've been told it's quite difficult to play. Perhaps that's why.

Thanks for keeping the accordion alive, even if only through the use of RealTracks!

Hello, Graham

Very fun!
The accordion's sprint is amazing.
This tune reminds me of the German style beer restaurant near my house.
Accordion polka is always flowing as background music there.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Graham.
This is certainly lively.
Your spirited playing lifts my day.
Cheers.

Graham

Superb playing!

Peter

Loved this polka, Graham, reminds me so much of the little elves in the windows of the stores in Bamberg, Germany.

Marty

Thanks for the kind comments Shigeki

So glad my music cheered you up

Graham, I just sent my New Jersey granddaughter the book The Elves of Cologne, and to accompany it I sent her parents a link to this music. Thank you! - Marty

Oh thanks Marty, lovely comment
