Enjoy Yourself- It’s later Than You Think. I always enjoyed the message of this song. We all need to enjoy ourselves now and then. All work and no play, makes a dull person. LOL Instead of playing it 3 times as a swing or polka, I decided to mix it up and go from latin to swing to waltz. Keeps a simple song from being boring and more fun for me to play. Hope you enjoy. Thank You to Pixabay and all the talented artists that share their work for free.

This is a fun song. Be happy song. I am trying to get more bass to record in my songs. This was an effort to boost the bass and chords. They sound loud when playing in a room, but the bass seems to disappear when recording. Hope you enjoy. The bass man had fun. LOL

Old fashioned waltzes. Nostalgic thinking of all the friends, husbands, wives, boyfriends and girlfriends that we have lost. Played with my Roland FR 4X Accordion.

Another of my favorite songs that I have played for years. There are new songs and difficult songs that I play when I practice, but quite often I go back to the old favorites. I Talk to the Trees is one of those. Too bad I did not have Clint Eastwood to sing it!

I think Fly Me to The Moon is such a pretty song. I played it a lot when we use to entertain and people seemed to like it. So I thought I would make a modern video with all the great graphics from Pixels.

Another fun singalong from the past. Heard it on the radio the other day and bought the music. I have hundreds of songs, yet no Sugartime. LOL… Read the rest
Lillie Marlene
I have always loved this song. I thought it was from WWII and I was right, but it was written in the 1930’s. The Germans used it as a theme in their broadcasts to their troops. The Allies also listened. When the British finally got the upper hand, they adopted Lillie Marlene as their song. Great songs.
