Country Sunshine

Accordion Player Pat Posted on April 7, 2021 by pwalterApril 7, 2021

Country Sunshine – It’s a beautiful Spring day in Ohio. What better way to enjoy it than sing about the sunshine. Mr. Dino gave me a shoutout this morning and said – “hey – Yee Haw.” I got the message and pulled up this neat foot tapper. I hope it brings a little sunshine to your day. “Country Sunshine” is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Dottie West and released in 1973.… Read the rest

Blame It On The Bossa Nova

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

Fun song to play. Today is International Woman’s Day so Mr. Dino thought we could celebrate by getting our dance on! He’s a great partner. This was written by a husband and wife team Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann in 1963. It was first recorded by Eydie Gorme.… Read the rest

Why Do Fools Fall In Love Played by Pat Walter

Accordion Player Pat Posted on February 6, 2021 by pwalterFebruary 6, 2021

Why Do Fools Fall In Love – so they can celebrate Valentine’s Day! Just a fun song to play. Thought it might get your foot tappin’ and warm you up on a cold winter day. “Why Do Fools Fall in Love” is a song by New York City-based rock and roll group Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers that was released on January 10, 1956.… Read the rest

Turn Me Loose

Accordion Player Pat Posted on February 3, 2021 by pwalterFebruary 3, 2021

Fun song to play on a cold winter day. Just keep movin’ and groovin’ . I finally let the bari have a solo. He sits in the back just a honkin’ away, so I thought – let him shine!!! LOL Turn Me Loose was written in 1959 by Doc Pomust and Mort Shuman. It was Fabian’s first hit. Hope it gets you bouncing a bit.… Read the rest

Feelin’ Groovy or 59th Street Bridge Song

Accordion Player Pat Posted on January 26, 2021 by pwalterJanuary 26, 2021

Feelin’ Groovy is a fun, upbeat song written by Paul Simon in 1966. Thought is would be fun to play on Mr. Dino. The Queensboro Bridge, also known as the 59th Street Bridge – because its Manhattan end is located between 59th and 60th Streets. I hope you enjoy it and at least tap your foot or hum while I play.… Read the rest

Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool

Accordion Player Pat Posted on January 26, 2021 by pwalterJanuary 26, 2021

Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool – I saw this on one of the oldies lists posted the other day and thought, lets do it! I played it as a straight acoustic accordion piece with a little country swing. Mr. Dino has been complaining about Mr. Roland getting to do all the good songs, so I thought I would dust off poor Mr. Dino and make a video! LOL “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” is a song written by Jack Keller and Howard Greenfield that was a No. 1 hit for Connie Francis in 1960. A polka-style version in German, “Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel”, was the first German single recorded and released by Connie Francis, and it reached No. 1 on the single chart in 1960 in West Germany.… Read the rest

A Swingin’ Safari

Accordion Player Pat Posted on January 6, 2021 by pwalterJanuary 6, 2021

A Swingin’ Safari written by Bert Kaempfert in 1962. A fun song to play. I definitely remember hearing this one the radio and TV back in my old days. Mr. Roland did a good job with some of his many, wonderful sounds. I hope it will bring a smile to your face and get your foot tapping. You can even get up and dance, I did when proofing the video. LOL… Read the rest

Silhouettes

Accordion Player Pat Posted on December 17, 2020 by pwalterDecember 17, 2020

Silhouettes. Another fun, old song from 1957. I missed not having the doo-wops in the background, but did a little humming. LOL “Silhouettes” is a song made famous by the doo-wop group the Rays in 1957. A competing version by the Diamonds was also successful. In 1965 it was a number 5 hit in the US for Herman’s Hermits, and in 1990 it was a number 10 hit in the UK for Cliff Richard.… Read the rest

The Little White Cloud That Cried

Accordion Player Pat Posted on December 10, 2020 by pwalterDecember 10, 2020

The Little White Cloud That Cried. So appropriate for the terrible times we are experiencing now. I was listening to some Johnnie Ray songs and heard this one today. I was only 7 years old back in 1951, but I remember this song and Cry. My Mom use to play the radio back then so I listened to all those great songs. I did not realize that I would still be listening almost 70 years later. Great music is timeless!!! I just love these old songs because they have such great lyrics and messages. Written by Johnnie Ray as a youngster, the song was the “B” side of Columbia Record’s first two-sided hit record. The “A” side was Ray’s first and biggest hit “Cry” and made it to #1 while “Cloud” made it to #2.… Read the rest

The Happy Organ

Accordion Player Pat Posted on December 10, 2020 by pwalterDecember 10, 2020

The Happy Organ. The sun is shining, it’s 53 degrees – time to rock it. I love playing this piece. I never play it the same way twice! You just get rolling and have fun – mistakes and all. The Roland organ does a great job for this piece. I hope it brings a smile to your face or at least gets your foot tapping. “The Happy Organ” is the name of an instrumental composition made famous by Dave “Baby” Cortez in 1959. Cortez co-composed it with noted celebrity photographer James J. Kriegsmann and frequent collaborator Kurt Wood. A significant portion of the tune bears a strong resemblance to the traditional “Shortnin’ Bread” tune.… Read the rest

Darling Je Vous Aime Beaucoup

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

Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup. Nice song for Mr. Dino. I have always enjoyed playing this song. I love Nat King Cole’s version done in 1956. “Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup” is a popular song with words and music by Anna Sosenko in 1935.… Read the rest

Green Green

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

Green Green is another song from my college days. We all liked to sing folks songs back then. I even traded my old accordion in at the pawn shop for a guitar! Accoridonless until 1981. My ex and I started to play as a duo then. This is just a little toe taping music to help you get ready to prepare your Thanksgiving meals! “Green, Green”, a 1963 hit single by The New Christy Minstrels.… Read the rest
