Dream On Little Dreamer played as COVID MISERIES

Accordion Player Patricia Walter Posted on by

Dream On Little Dreamer played as COVID MISERIES. This was written in 1964 by Fred B. Burch & Jan Crutchfield. Perry Como even did a hit recording of it. But the more I played it, the more it just felt like Covid Miseries. You may like it or not, but it pretty well sums up how many people are feeling these days. I apologize to Burch & Crutchfield, but music touches many people in many ways. This is just how I heard and felt it. I had fun with the guitar and harmonica on Mr. Roland.… Read the rest

Lyin’ Kisses

Accordion Player Patricia Walter Posted on by

Lyin’ Kisses. For a few of my local friends that like country music. Sounded pretty much like a country song. It was recorded by Dick Caruso in 1959. I just had fun with this one. Could not find a recording of it on You Tube which is unusual. Found a copy of the sheet music from Rosemary Lane version in the UK. I hope you enjoy my little country song about Lyin’ Kisses… Read the rest

A Swingin’ Safari

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

Black and Blue

Accordion Player Patricia Walter Posted on by

Black and Blue from 1929. Something quite different than I usually do. Just for fun. It seems quite the perfect Covid song, so I ended up playing and singing it. I don’t think my future is as a blue singer, but again having fun.

Accordion Player Patricia Walter 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

Ring Telephone Ring

Accordion Player Patricia Walter Posted on by

Ring Telephone Ring is another beautiful old song from 1941. It just felt like the kind of song to play on an old, grey winter day. Would like to have done it perfectly, but the gig is not a paying gig, so I didn’t bother to record it several times trying to be perfect. Perfect is a difficult goal at this age. Most people don’t listen to the songs more than 30 seconds, so I have that covered. I hope my friends enjoy the nostalgic song from the past. Ring Telephone, Ringwas written by Peter Tinturin & Buck Ram.… Read the rest
