My New Hats – A piece of silliness that came to life when my wonderful friend in NC asked me to tell her what I bought. Who doesn’t like buying hats on Amazon. LOL Such a selection. I find it fun to wear different hats with some of my videos. My silver, white hair gives the camera fits against the darker backgrounds. So a hat is a simple solution to a better looking video. I thought I would play a song for each hat!!!! That was fun filming. I am 76 and can’t remember my name some days, so trying to remember and transition between 5 songs was interesting and fun – to say the least. I should have been drinking, I am sure of that! The songs are not perfect but just a fun song for each hat.… Read the rest

Let’s Have Another Cup of Coffee and Let’s Have Another Piece of Pie

Accordion Player Pat Posted on by

Let’s Have Another Cup of Coffee and Let’s Have Another Piece of Pie was written by Irving Berlin in 1932. I have fun singing this one. It’s old, but the lyrics are still as good today as in 1932 except we have different presidents! A cup of coffee and a piece of pie always makes us feel good. A second cup of coffee and another piece of pie is even better! I hope you enjoy this silly song and go find yourself a nice piece of pie!… Read the rest

Paris in Spring

Accordion Player Pat Posted on by

It’s a cold, winter February 1st, so I am dreaming of “Paris in Spring”. The background in the beginning is the view out my picture window as I practice and make videos. I thought, I needed to play a warm song and dream of warmer days. LOL “Paris in the Spring” is a popular song composed in 1935, with lyrics by Mack Gordon and music by Harry Revel. It was first introduced by Mary Ellis in the film Paris in Spring. A version was also recorded by Ray Noble and His Orchestra (also in 1935).… Read the rest

A Swingin’ Safari

Accordion Player Pat Posted on by

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

Accordion Player Pat Posted on by

All I Want for Christmas is a Great Big Hug, Say Goodbye to the Covid Bug. Something different. Sitting at lunch thinking about what Christmas song I could do and started humming this when all of a sudden new words were found! A Parady on All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth! It was fun to do. Don Gardner did the words and Music in 1946 to the original song. He might not be happy with my version, but then again, he isn’t living thru the Covid age.… Read the rest

Green Green

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

Addams Family Theme

Accordion Player Pat Posted on by

Happy Halloween! I decided to do one more Halloween video, after all what else does a lone, single lady do on Halloween? I had so much fun with this one. Sorry, it went long. At 76, I can never remember if I did it 4 or 5 times! LOL The sound is a little crazy and the Roland is being pushed a bit into overdrive on purpose. So much fun. I hope you enjoy! The theme for the 1964 TV series The Addams Family was written and arranged by longtime Hollywood film and television composer Vic Mizzy. Thank You to the artists at Pixabay for the graphics and musicians at Freesound for the background effects. So much fun.… Read the rest
