I would like to Thank every one who takes time to visit my website. I am not a professional accordionist, I am just an oldster having fun with old music. I hope to bring a smile to a few faces.

I played accordion most of my life. Started in 1951 when I was 6 years old. During the 80’s and 90’s, my ex and I played as a duo known as the Good Time Two. We parted ways in 2008 and I did not play much after that.

My wonderful Elkavox weighed 29 pounds and became way to heavy for me to lift. In 2019 I decided to get a smaller accordion that I could handle.  I bought a small, 14 pound Roland FR 1X.

(The other was “It’s Now or Never”, popularized by Elvis Presley.) The biggest hit version of the song was recorded by Tony Martin, which charted in 1949.… Read the rest

Parisienne Carousel

This is a beautiful little waltz written by George Frank for his son when his ship hit Paris on his tour of duty to the Middle East. The first section is horses going up and down while the carousel goes around. The second section is a little touch of sadness, in other words “life is not just as bed of roses, into each life some rain must fall. The third section section is the riders passing by the ring and trying to grab it. I hope you enjoy the little ride on the carousel.… Read the rest
