randomly thought of this legendary bootleg wedding video featuring my musical hero Toni Iordache, as well as some other legends of Romanian music like Ionică Minune and Ion Drăgoi

Added some videos to today's posting of last night's @accordionnoir episode (can't see those on radio)
Didn't realIze it was Augie Meyers from the Sir Douglas Quintet playing on the #TomWaits number
They did "She's About a Mover" back in 1965 you'll recall. This vid exemplifies objectification in a foolish visual pun
That's him going off on Vox #organ, when Texas garage bands all traded #accordion for #keyboard

Musical Interlude: I know I've posted this before, I probably will again. I watch this video every year; it's my holiday soundtrack.
"Christmas Time is Here," performed by Moshe Zukter.

#Concertina player Rainer Süßmilch came up while planning tonight's @accordionnoir show, and I didn't have any info on him
Searching found this great spooky clip:
Althorn Musik-Trailer für "Play Auerbach" von Avishai Milstein, Uraufführung am 4.12. an den Münchner Kammerspielen, Regie Sandra Strunz
Outstanding. Hope to hear more

Will play a quite different solo number from a while ago on tonight's episode
🎶 ☠️ 🤍 A ska - esque, joy-filled party tune.
There are forces, as there have always been, that would take away our joy. I say, don't make it easy for them! Our joy is priceless. It can't be bought. This is the inspiration for our latest tune "Beer Can Hats (the Rhythm of Life). It doesn't take much to have a good time, a few fine friends and some rhythm and rhyme. Collective joy is powerful.
So, as an act of resistance, or for the sheer heck of it, don a beer or soda can hat, and find a "mosh pit of joy". We're in this together.

Watching a Skerryvore performance on BBC ALBA (recorded, but it’s still on the iPlayer), and noticed that the kilted bagpiper and whistle player wears a watch on his right wrist. So I then wondered, is he an accordion player too? Accordionists like me typically wear watches on the right side. Quick bit of checking, and yup, Martin Gillespie plays whistles, bagpipes and, yes, accordion. Go him! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00116bz/skerryvore #Music #Scotland #accordion #Skerryvore

Norway is a wild country to tour: follow me on a crazy trip to Setesdal. The storrm Amy has hit the country and all planes are put on the ground. Will the band Valkyrien Allstars even make it to their own gig? Find your popcorn and enjoy some crazy balkan music from Tøsse and Igor and a jam we did together. Nothing can stop the #folkclubbing !!! #hovden #folkmusic

Was it Gardel who they used to put on photos inside bandoneones?
Or I think it was a player?
@corin_ja
Oh my yes, the #lounge version of #PinkFloyd’s Dark Side of the Moon!
I haven’t got that one yet, but remember when he was crowdfunding it
And now I see it’s got #Accordion 🪗
So we’ll have to get it to play on @accordionnoir radio
Thanks for the refresher!

Really a #Polka revival would likely come from a breakthrough Macarena-style hit by a #norteño band
Some particularly catchy #accordion break that gets sampled into a bunch of global hit dance numbers
One earworm to rule them all 🪗 🐛
Maybe something that gets covered by a white band who culturally-appropriates the profits?
Source for years of grad-school theses
I have it all planned
This or a #cumbia takeover
#PinataProtest not yr average example 🪅

@toddsundsted
My wild prediction is for a grand third #polka revival to sweep the globe at the same time
First #Polkamania 1820s, second Polkamania 1930s, third Polkamania 2030s 🎉
That might naturally coincide with an #accordion upheaval and i got to tell #WeirdAl he predicted it

@toddsundsted
Yes, there was a while around 2000–2010 when the 🪗 was on its last big “uprising”
When our show started (2006) and I began writing my #AccordionRevolution book that ended up taking until 2019 😅
The #Decemberists hit #1 in 2010🏆 Then what happened? Not sure.
We’re maybe due for a renewal in time for the 2029 bicentennial of the 1829 patenting of the first instrument called #accordion
@swanksalot accordion? (or pickled herring - tough call) #aquavit #accordion
@derknopf @accordionnoir
Always looking for more #ExperimentalMusic for our next #accordion #drone episode
That’s really nice 🪗 𝄐
Adding to our #AccordionBandcamp recommendations
A few minutes of deep chill:

Here's Dave Levitt's band from a few years ago recording a klez tune "from the repertoire of Louis Grupp," it's a toe-tapping one...

Today’s exciting delivery!
For anyone interested it is Milleret-Pignol layout in “D/G” - so D/Ehm/Accs… the “G/C” equivalent works well for me, so it made sense. Yes, it is… unusual…
