Danny Boy

Accordion Player Pat Posted on March 13, 2021 by pwalterMarch 13, 2021

Danny Boy. Never could get through live performances without a few request for me to sing Danny Boy. Never an easy song to sing unless you are an Irish Tenor. Several of my personal friends recently asked if I was going to sing Danny Boy? So here is Danny Boy. Mr. Roland suggest I use the pretty chorus to back me up because they are definitely great singers. LOL This was adapted from an Old Irish Air by Fred E. Weatherly. I hope you enjoy this beautiful song and and sing along as most people like to do.… Read the rest

Sunrise Sunset

Accordion Player Pat Posted on February 21, 2021 by pwalterFebruary 21, 2021

Sunrise, Sunset. I was looking for some waltzes to play since I haven’t played many. I found Sunrise, Sunset which is a waltz. Not quite a normal waltz, but a very pretty song I would normally play at a Nursing Home for the more mature folks. I didn’t do much fancy videoing with it since nothing seemed to fit very well. Just plain music with Mr. Dino. I hope it might warm you up on a cold day. “Sunrise, Sunset” is a song from the musical Fiddler on the Roof written in 1964 by composer Jerry Bock and lyricist Sheldon Harnick.… Read the rest

Little Things Mean A Lot

Accordion Player Pat Posted on February 17, 2021 by pwalterFebruary 17, 2021

Happy Valentine’s Day. What better song than Little Things Mean A Lot. Always a favorite of mine. During this time of Covid, nothing seems more important than the little things. It was written in 1954 by Edith Lindemand and Carl Stuitz. Beautiful song. I hope you enjoy it.… Read the rest

Darling Je Vous Aime Beaucoup

Accordion Player Pat Posted on November 30, 2020 by pwalterNovember 30, 2020

Count Your Blessings

Accordion Player Pat Posted on November 30, 2020 by pwalterNovember 30, 2020

Count Your Blessings. Happy Thanksgiving. I have always like this song and often played it. It really touches my heart. I think my Roland 4X did a great job with fantastic strings and violin. It is often difficult to realize how blessed we are during times of turmoil. “Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep)” is a popular song written by Irving Berlin and used in the 1954 film White Christmas. It is commonly performed as a Christmas song, although the lyrics make no reference to the December holiday. Thank You to vimeo-free-videos at pixabay for the beautiful background.” If you’re worried and you can’t sleep, Just count your blessings instead of sheep and you’ll fall asleep counting your blessings”… Read the rest

Wings of a Dove

Accordion Player Pat Posted on November 6, 2020 by pwalterNovember 6, 2020

Wings of a Dove. Good song for the times we are living in! I saw this on Brandy’s list for 1961 songs. I was 17 and remember it. Nice upbeat tune. After playing for a half an hour, my fingers switched to a swing 4 beat version. It was fun to do. I can hear the wonderful fills and runs the accomplished players would do, but I am lucky to make my 76 year old fingers move at all! I had a lot of fun working this out.This is my 76 year old lady swing! LOL Couldn’t find any neat graphics, so it is basically music. “Wings of a Dove’ is a country song written by Bob Ferguson in 1958. “Wings of a Dove” was most popular when it was recorded by Ferlin Husky in 1960. The Ferlin Husky recording went to number one on the country charts for 10 nonconsecutive weeks.… Read the rest

Edelweiss

Accordion Player Pat Posted on October 16, 2020 by pwalterOctober 16, 2020

Edelweiss for the Oktoberfest month. Did you ever take a road trip to NY and end up in Florida? This was to be a Roland featured video with Mr. Weltmeister in the background. Roland never did do his thing right with many tries! The background track of the Weltmeister was very nice, so it became the main feature with a little singing. Still a nice acoustic accordion video. The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry! LOL “Edelweiss” is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music. It is named after the edelweiss, a white flower found high in the Alps (Leontopodium nivale). … It was the last song ever written by Oscar Hammerstein II, prior to his death in August 1960.… Read the rest

The White Cliffs of Dover

Accordion Player Pat Posted on October 11, 2020 by pwalterOctober 11, 2020

The White Cliffs of Dover is one of my absolute favorites. It is such a beautiful song about faith and hope. With all the crazy stuff going on in our world – Covid-19, hurricanes, massive fires – I thought we can all use some hope. This is my 101st video. I thought I would start my second century of videos with a beautiful song. On to the polkas and hand clappers tomorrow.
“(There’ll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover” is a popular World War II song composed in 1941 by Walter Kent to lyrics by Nat Burton. The song was written about a year after the Royal Air Force and German Luftwaffe aircraft had been fighting over southern England, including the white cliffs of Dover, in the Battle of Britain. Nazi Germany had conquered much of Europe and in 1941 was still bombing Britain.… Read the rest

Accordion Player Pat Posted on July 9, 2020 by pwalterJuly 9, 2020

Home is a beautiful song written in 1931 by Peter Van Steeden and Geoffrey Clarkson. I have played it for years. Just a nice slow, touching song, at least for me. Someone had posted on the many accordion groups I belong to that he wondered why everyone had to play fast, difficult music. Why doesn’t anyone play slow pretty music. Well, here is my contribution. Thanks to Pixabay for the free photos and graphics in the video.… Read the rest
