I recently lost Peanut and Chloe, my little two buddies, within 2 months of each other. Both were old with many health problems, but I tried my best to keep them going. It breaks my heart to lose them.… Read the rest
Irish Washerwoman. Always a favorite. I thought I would do a few variations for the fun of it. Normally I play it straight, but I was enjoying playing a bit out of the box this morning. I hope you clap along and feel a bit Irish for a wee bit. My little green Leprechaun accordion player is a graphic I made over 22 years ago. Funny thing is Leprechauns never age – unfortunately, I don’t look like I did 22 years ago.… Read the rest

As is the case with so many wonderful old tunes, the person or people who wrote “The Galway Piper” are forgotten to history, though it’s known to have been published as early as 1740.… Read the rest
Oh Dem Golden Slippers written by African-American James A. Bland in 1879. Having a little fun with some oldies. Buddy was napping, so I took the advantage to play a little accordion. Playing through the old fake books and came to the section of really, really oldies. Just started playing thru some and stopped at this cutie. Great fun playing this. I hope it brightens your day a bit.… Read the rest

It’s so nice to have a Man Around The House. Buddy is 3 months old today and is learning many new things. He has pretty well mastered the dustpan – at least holding the handle. Next – the broom which he prefers to chew on instead of sweep with.… Read the rest
