Found this tucked away on you tube. It's almost 13 years since I originally uploaded this beauty. It shows Sylvias skill using the triple bellows shake which isn't an easy technique by any means. I certainly can't get the hang of it. The tune is called the flowers of Normandy. Don't even know if RTs had come into the equasion then ? My accordion then was the elkavox 83. Big heavy brute of a thing, which I still have but never played for ages due to its weight.
Anyhoo, hope you all enjoy the wee session. again it was all done by email and mixed in sound forge 4.

Wow! look what we been missing out on all these years.
One word and that's excellent. I could pen down some lyrics and
get some one with a French accent to sing it. "Rusty Spoon"
Well done Graham. Rob4580

A good track - the Dubliners did a nice job of it too.
Well done.

This is so beautiful and so wistful at the same time! Congratulations - you are such a true and genuine musician ... I'm so, so personally impressed with - and moved by - what I hear. No more words - just listening once more ... bravo.

Well, that's just lovely. It truly captures a certain feel, like a ride in a gondola in Venice, or a brisk hike in a mountain valley, filled with flowing grass and trees swaying in the breeze. Very impressive.
