There is a program available that will change the key on a recording so you can match it with your accordion. I think it is called something like "the slow downer" or something like that. Maybe somebody can jump in and be more accurate. I know it has been discussed before If you are a computer guy then you can learn by ear off the recording and match it to your accordion.

The programn is called "The Amazing Slowdowner" by microsoft. It's been arund a long time. Will let you change a song done on a D accordion to match your C etc. I don't think it is very explensive and osunds like it is well worth it.

I downloaded a mac version from BitTorrent for free. Probably buy for a few dollars.

It rocks.

I made a reference to it on your last post re: modes or positions. (See Boozoo's "dress tail down" which is very good to jam to and learn to mode in a fun way..btw...the best version was off his last cd with Greeley and Sonny Landreth ripping on it)

I change keys to suit myself, slow it down to pick up the notes, and quickly make small loops to work out difficult passages.

KF has a B and a C# box
some of the stuff on that old 'live at slims' was done on the C#
very weird key

as far as him telling you, he may or he may not, he can be reclusive

Also want to say that Audacity is free and has the same slow down capabilities. Although it's much more capable than that and a little more complicated to use, just wanted to mention it.

Could it be a F# accodrion. In 2002 he was in Holland and one hour ago I heared he used a F#. Lisa Haley said, "who's playing in F#"

Thanks to everyone for the info!!!

Yes i have heard he can be reclusive which is why i didn't really bother contacting him. On top of the key itself he plays in, it also appears to be dry tuned. Am i right?? I think i have gotten the dry/wet tune sound under wraps
