Inka Dinka Doo – My Mom passed away three years ago on September 25 when she was 96. I was recently away camping in the rain and almost forgot this year. So I played a silly, old tune by Jimmy Durante and Ben Ryan for her. She loved to dance and would have done an old fashioned soft shoe to this.… Read the rest

Mexicali Rose – Waltz, Cha Cha and Swing

Accordion Player Pat Posted on by

played Mexicali Rose yesterday with my Roland Digital Accordion as a swing version. Lots of comments that it is a waltz. Yes, it is a waltz and I often play it that way. BUT, the fun of playing as a soloist is you can do it anyway you want! I have great fun doing different rendition of songs.… Read the rest

S. Eliot. It was written for the 1981 musical Cats.… Read the rest

Yellow Bird

Yellow Bird. Still having fun with my Little Petosa. I realized I haven’t played Yellow Bird after making 227 videos. Really – we always played Yellow Bird at every job. I usually play it with a latin beat, but felt like swinging it today. Something different – something fun. musician Arthur Lyman made the song a hit in 1961.… Read the rest

Old Shep

Old Shep – A song for National Pet Day. I love this song. I found it in one of my country western fake books. After playing it, I knew it would become one of my new favorites. I used many photos of my own rescue dogs in the background. In the early 2000’s our shelter was very high kill. We ended up with 14 of our own and others that made it to rescue. I loved each one and they own a big piece of my heart. I hope you enjoy it, even thought it is a bit sad. Unfortunately, we all have a beginning and ending. “Old Shep” is a song written and composed by Red Foley and Arthur Willis in 1933 about a dog Foley owned as a child.… Read the rest

If Ever I Would Leave You

Accordion Player Pat Posted on by

This is a absolutely beautiful song. My friend Jeanie has asked me to play it several times. She likes to hear me sing. This type of beautiful song isn’t quite in my wheelhouse, but this ones for you Jeanie. This beautiful song is from the Broadway Musical Camelot from 1960 written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. My apologies to Lerner and Loewe for my non Broadway singing.… Read the rest

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

Pretend

Pretend – Seemed like a nice song to start the week. I play this quite often, but you would never know it by the video. Bring out the camera and bang, the fingers are on their own. LOL I had the most fun playing with the graphics for my fantasy world. Yes, I am slightly transparent in the video since I was in my own dreamland. I hope you enjoy my little accordion piece. “Pretend” is a popular song, written in 1952 by Dan Belloc, Lew Douglas, Cliff Parman and Frank Levere.The best-known recording was by Nat King Cole in 1953.… Read the rest

Welcome

Accordion Player Pat - Patricia Walter

I would like to Thank everyone who takes time to visit my website. I am not a professional accordionist, I am just an oldster having fun with old music. I hope to bring a smile to a few faces.

 I played accordion most of my life. Started in 1951 when I was 6 years old. During the 80’s and 90’s, my ex and I played as a duo known as the Good Time Two. We parted ways in 2008 and I did not play much after that.

Then several years ago I bought a Roland FR 4X Digital Accordion, which I love. Also have purchased a couple acoustic accordions since they are fun to play too. I hope you enjoy my music.
