Accordion Player Pat

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.

S. Eliot. It was written for the 1981 musical Cats.… Read the rest

Sixteen Tons

Sixteen Tons – a song for Labor Day. I dedicate it to all the hard working folks in the USA and all their ancestors that brought to where we are now. I would love to have sung it, but I just can’t do a good Tennessee Ernie Ford version. So I just jammed with it. Had great fun. Sounds a bit more merky on the recording than in person.… Read the rest

See You In September Another pretty fall song. We have a nice crisp day with fall in the air. This is another beautiful song. These pretty old songs just take me back to a time when life was good for most of us. A different world than today. It was composed in 1959 by Sherman Edwards and words by Sid Wayne. I hope you enjoy my little trip into autumn.… Read the rest

Yellow Bird

Yellow Bird. Still having fun with my Little Petosa. I realized I haven’t played Yellow Bird after making 227 videos. Really – we always played Yellow Bird at every job. I usually play it with a latin beat, but felt like swinging it today. Something different – something fun. musician Arthur Lyman made the song a hit in 1961.… Read the rest

Mountain Greenery is from the Broadway Musical The Gerrick Gaieties. Composed by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1926. I had great fun playing this, I hope it brightens up your spirits.… Read the rest

When You wish Upon A Star

Accordion Player Pat Posted on by

I was camping for a few days in my new camper and of course, it rained for 3 days. LOL I took my Roland 4X with me. Got a chance to play outside once and a few people liked it. Then rain, rain and rain. Recording in the camper is a lot different than in my little studio at home. So I Wished Upon a Star for some sunshine!! … Read the rest
