This is a tune composed by me dear dear friend the late Sylvia Maria Barber, who was an outstanding accordionist. She was from California and was known as the triple shake queen. ( A style of bellows shake which is very hard to master ) I came across this after copying files from an old hard drive I though was knackered. Glad I never lost it. Sylvia was a lovely lady and had a real passion for accordion music. She played for a few years with the Lawrence Welk orchestra before Joanne Castle joined. Sylvia's playing lead accordion and I'm playing 2nd. It was a load of fun and she LOVED the biab backing. I honestly have no idea what tracks we used. I know she'd have gotten a real kick reading comments on this. https://soundcloud.com/graham-wilson-1/percolator-polkaBy the way I decided not to tweak this and just left it as was. Quality isn't too bad considering the hard drive it was on hasn't worked for about 6 years

Graham, this is awesome. Your accordions rock!
The energy is high and the musicianship is superb.
My favorite parts are the runs(?) that start at around the :45 mark.

Yes, Sylvia can really play. But my friend so can you!
I have played a number of polkas but I have never heard of this one. Both of you must have had smoking fingers after this one!
Another winner from my favorite Accordion player!

Scott Hi Scott, thanks for that, Sylvia did compose quite a few tunes, but sadly never recorded them on her PC. Her son has heaps of reel to reel tapes which he's going to get on a specially set up pc, so I'm really lookin forward to hearing her. All that was done by ear as she never bothered to send me the music ROFL

Nice work on this - as always, your work on the accordion here is perfect. I love the groove on this, and the high energy behind this. I can imagine it sounding unreal live.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Hi Graham,
Thank you so much for posting this. It's really wonderful listening. I would have loved to see Ms Sylvia perform. I bet she had a pretty huge following!
All the best,
Noel

Thanks for sharing! Hiya Deryk, it would have been amazing to have played live with her, apart from her playing she also had a gorgeous singing voice

Hi Graham,
This is virtuoso what both of you did on the accordion! What pitty she is no more...
I thought I'd heard a lot of accordionmusic when I was in Austria, but compared with your playing (and that is you, Graham) they were pretty dull. I'm sure we gonna hear a lot more from you on that instrument!
Hans

Noel Hi Noel, I'm sure she did have a huge following. She was a very popular player in many of the American accordion festivals. I'm still sad I never got to meet her personally and have a session

Hans Hans, thanks so much for those lovely words. I'm not really up for much fast playing these days as the fingers freeze on me, but slow ones I can manage fine.

A great, rollicking tune well played by both of you. Having borrowed a friend's accordion for a couple of months some time ago I have some idea of the skill required to play such an instrument. Think I'll stick to strings. 
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile
