Another old fun song called Old Piano Roll Blues composed by Cy Coben in 1950. Seems like it is from the ’20s. I played it often in the old days and just have fun with it. I listened to Al Jolson and the Andrew’s Sister sing it – really fun. I didn’t have the Andrew’s Sisters to back me up, so I improvised! LOL Just an amateur having fun. Hope you enjoy.… Read the rest
Nobody’s Sweetheat is an old song composed in 1923 by Gus Kahn, Ernie Erdman, Elmer Schoebel and Billy Meyers. Being bored on a Saturday night, I decided to get the ragtime piano out. I have always played this song and people seem to like it, although I am not sure it is very well known. Thanks to the Pixabay Artists for the great, free graphics.… Read the rest
I have played accordion most of my life, but have decided to play again at 75. I didn’t play much after the 90’s. Actually couldn’t life my 29 pound Iorio. So I recently bought a Roland FR 4x and love it. Still a bit heavy at 20 pounds, but 10 pounds lighter than the old one.
Tijuana Taxi released by Herb Alpert in 1965.
LyricsDown in old Tijuana town
There’s this happy honkin’ sound,
Something you just can’t put down
It’s the world renown Tijuana Taxi cab.
So, you’re not impressed you say
With a beat up Chevrolet
But that driver man Jose
Knows his way around Tijuana town.Hey, ya wanna swing (You just tell Jose)
Have yourself a fling (What-cha wanna play)
Meet some pretty thing? (Any time you say)
Livin’ like a king! (Long as you can pay)Picture post cards ‘n’ hot tequila
French perfume, man, from Venezuela
When you’re on a Tijuana Taxi ride!
Give those bulls a great big hand,
Love that mariachi band,
But the best thing in the land
Is that hand-me-down Tijuana TaxicabHey, ya wanna swing (You just tell Jose)
Have yourself a fling (What-cha wanna play)
Meet some pretty thing? (Any time you say)
Livin’ like a king! (Long as you can pay)Picture post cards ‘n’ hot tequila
French perfume, man, from Venezuela
When you’re on a Tijuana Taxi ride!
So you swing and go for broke
Not a penny in your poke
Got no cigarettes to smoke
But ya had your fling, the pretty thing
And every-thing is ring-a-ding. O-le! Source: LyricFindSongwriters: Ervan F. Coleman… Read the rest
