My hands have been hitting 10 on the richterscale over the last year or so. I came up with this tune at midnight a couple of nights ago ROFL. Hope you enjoy wobbly fingers, a good old polka

Nicely played (and filmed!).
Hope the fingers are good.....

Peter

I really enjoyed this, and I watched it all the way through. I noticed some little variances in the repetitions, and I so admire your "chops"...I could never get through any piece of this length without totally flubbing it up!! Great work!

HI Peter, fingers seem to be settling very slowly so hopefully they'll get back to some king of normality before I get too old to lift the damned box up lol

Graham,
Lively with lots of zing and slither from those dancing fingers; concentration but no pain showing on your face.
I like your midnight inspirations!

Robert

I absolutely love this, Graham! I wouldn't it wobbly fingers, I called it flying fingers. You make it seem to effortless. I appreciate you making videos of your songs, so we can see you in action. Again, great song.

Graham,
Fun tune & live playing! Probably could make a child party dance tune. I do wish backing would be heard louder, but I do understand it is a live scenario. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Absolutely love this, Graham. Thank you!

Oh I can [*****] things up with the best of them, one of the reason I don't do live concerts ROFL

Thanks Robert, glad you enjoyed it. I seem to do my best stuff around midnight when the noise has gone to bed PSML

Got a chuckle out of the song title Graham. Well done.

Thanks so much for the lovely comments. I enjoy doing the videos, in fact we both do

We both have arthritis in our hands and, man, that makes what you are doing even more amazing to us. You were all over that box and, as others have said, the fingers were flying!

Very cool to listen to and watch.

Kudos!

Hi Misha, it's difficult to get a good balance on a smart phone. Glad you enjoyed it anyhoo

Hiya Don old friend thanks Pal, hope you're keeping well

Very well played, Graham. As others have said, dancing and flying seem more fitting descriptions for those fingers than wobbly.
Regards,
Leon

A jaunty melody and good playing...you may be disappointing you but not me.

Fun tune!

As someone who couldn't memorize a tune to save his life, it's nice to see music being made the "old fashion" way.

Hi Scott, glad it made you smile !!

Thanks guys, I'm miming and playing to somebody else rofl. Only kiddin of course !! It's nce to do the videos as it's keeping folk entertained on facebook too

Hello Graham,
I enjoyed your playing. It is a very catchy little tune. I was just mesmerized by the amount of skill you have moving your fingers. At times it looked as if you were playing the keys with the same motion someone plays the guitar. I ask knowing VERY little about the accordion, is this how you play it? I've been exposed to a lot of different aspects of music on here that I never have before. Thanks for posting it I enjoyed the listen...

For the Arthritis, have you tried turmeric or cumin? Black cherry juice also helps with mine.

Hi Bawb, I've no idea if I'm playing the accordion correctly or not, I taught myself to play. It seems to work for me.
I Use Turmeric capsules and they DO help. However, I'm got to get acupuncture therapy shortly, so hopefully this'll sort out the carpal tunnel syndrome first, then maybe the shaky hands. Thanks for taking the time to comment

Hi Leon, thanks sooooo much for watching and taking the time to comment

Hiya Ray, thanks for the comment buddy

Hi Graham - That was pure fun to listen to. That tune and your style took me back to some great memories of German music and dancing that we'd have at our local club before the pandemic hit. You called the song wobbly fingers, and I'm guessing they must feel that way, but you've lost nothing in the style and flair department! I hope things improve for you.

Hello Fury,

I really appreciated your dexterity on the accordion. The composition is nice and catchy. You really give life to this instrument which unfortunately no longer finds its place in this world which advances too quickly. well done.

Kindly regard

Hi David and thanks for the comment. I often HAVE to use the dots for my own tunes as Ican't remember them. That's why BIAB is such an amazing tool, if it wasn't for that I'd be stuffed

HI Graham ...

I've told you at least a dozen times that you are my very favorite accordion player ... over my 73 years! You do it so effortlessly ,,, like scratching an itch. Loved the song, the playing and the video. Your music always makes me either smile or feel the emotion. loved it!

Best to you & Kay. Please be safe ...

Alan

Hiya Ed thanks for watching and for the comment. I'm going for acupuncture on Wednesday so hoping that'll help

Thanks so much for watching. Appreciate your kind comments

Hi Alan thanks for the comments. Hope you're both well ?

Yippy!!!
Love it,.
You made me smile.
