Subject: need book of accordion standards From: GUEST,Jeff Date: 07 May 03 - 08:59 AM I'm looking for a good book of sheet music for accordion standards such as Beer Barrel Polka, Blue Skirt Waltz, Red Wing Polka, Pennsylvania Polka, etc. I'm probably an intermediate player, so looking for versions with right hand chording rather than just single note melodies. Any help is appreciated. |

Subject: RE: looking for book of accordion standards From: John MacKenzie Date: 07 May 03 - 01:25 PM I live in sunny [not!!] Scotland, and my local music shop in Inverness is bulging with accordion music, as they seem to play it here quite a lot. Give me a few days, [I'm off sick now] and I'll do some research for you.....Giok |

Subject: RE: looking for book of accordion standards From: catspaw49 Date: 07 May 03 - 04:24 PM Well, this thread wouldn't be complete unless I mentioned that accordion players have only two standards. Most will tell you that they know only two songs......One is Lady of Spain and the other isn't. Spaw |

Subject: RE: looking for book of accordion standards From: catspaw49 Date: 07 May 03 - 04:55 PM Actually Mario, I spent a completely wonderful evening with Sam Pirt who can make anyone a believer in accordions. Honest to gawd, I never heard anyone better...period. He's quite unbelievable!!! Spaw |

Honest to gawd, I never heard anyone better...period. He's quite unbelievable!!! He's waaaaayyyyy better than me, that's for sure. man - 'spaw you are gonna have to eat your words when you finally meet CarolC. and I bet a bunch of people are gonna enjoy watching! ;-) Which is why I can't help our friend GUEST,Jeff out at all. I don't know any standards, and I especially don't know any polkas. I know a lot of waltzes, but most of them are not well known among accordion players (except maybe Finnish accordion players). |
