Very cool tune. First thing that popped into my head when the song started was a picture of a boat cruising down the Rhine River. Well done

Wow - what a stunning tune, Graham Very pretty, and very authentic feeling. Love the simplicity here - really gives the instruments room to breathe. Has an almost relaxing quality to it.

Great work, and thanks for sharing!

Beautiful song,

enjoyed the listen,

Kenny

Very nice, relaxing and flowing!

J&B

Graham,
The notes skip and slither in sprightly dance here.
Love the change at 1:15.
Enchante!

Robert

Thanks Scott, took me quite a few attempts to get this right

REALLY agile playing Graham,
You're a closet Highland Francophile.
I'm a real sucker for French Chanson melodies.

Sounding good, Graham!

Thanks Deryk, the accordion lends itself to so many styles, French being my favourite

Thanks Kenny, I've a real soft spot for French music

Graham,

Very beautiful... Love the track selection.

Bob

Oh wow! trés Parisienne indeed. Planning on been there next year.
Thanks for posting.

Mike B.

Thanks for listening guys

Thanks Robert, a change in kay can do wonders in a song I always find

Graham,

You are a master of 3/4 rhythm accordion. Your playing is so smooth. Somehow you manage to avoid all the squeaks and squeals so many accordionists cannot. Very pretty!

Alan

Very nice song, I live in France in Normandy
the waltz musette is typical of France

Thanks Ray, I'm a sucker myself for French musette music

Thanks Dave

Thanks Bob, so much available in biab it's hard to choose at times

Nice work Graham! You are a very good musician and always present enjoyable work! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Mike hope you enjoy the trip ? I've played in Belgium a couple of times but not France

Hey thanks Alan, far from being a master as there's many many more better exponents than myself

Oh Wow, thanks for that compliment Alain delighted that you liked it

Hi Graham, this is a very nice one. Reminds me (positively) of the songs that the hury-gurdies in Amsterdam play. Very fine chord progression ! And a very soothing nice video.

Lang may yer lum reek...

Hiya Torrey thanks as always for the kind words

I took some time listening to this at different days to post a comment. My father in law is a bayan (Russian accordion) player and also former instructor.
I have heard a many hours of "live" accordion music. At times when people arrange music for specific instrument, unless they play it, do not capture the "feel" of the instrument they are writing arrangement for.

I think you totally captured it. It felt good to me. I also sent it to my parents in law. I was interested to know their opinions to see if it differs from mine. They are both musicians and play some very complex stuff. They liked it too. Until I told them that it was most likely played on keyboard, they thought it was an accordionist playing.

P.S. Maybe I am wrong and you played it on accordion?

Nice work!

Yes it WAS played on a Scandalli super V1 accordion, that's my main instrument. I like to compose slow airs & ballads on a keyboard. Started playing the lap steel guitar 18 months ago as well

Thanks Stefamn really appreciate the feedback

Nice one Graham!

Graham,

A very fun mussete!
I entirely agree with Alan.
You are a master of 3/4 rhythm accordion. Your playing is so smooth. Somehow you manage to avoid all the squeaks and squeals so many accordionists cannot. Very pretty!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
