swing, lilt

ed's version definitely has the most swing, lilt, whatever you want to call it

rhythmic interest, i guess

i think something else good accordion players do is constantly control and use dynamics to create the rhythm

some notes are punched, others kind of get slid over, some are longer, shorter, by indefinable amounts - that is the player;s style

but the best playing has a lot of this, not just straight streams of notes like a brass band march
