The Perrodin still baffles me and may always. Was just looking through the Youtube videos of it saw this by our own Troubadours with Eric O'blanc on accordion. I've seen it several times but never noticed that he switches to F at 2:14. Hadn't seen/heard anyone else do that. Moments like this I feel very humble.

Ha! Eric is the only person I know that does that. I've never tried, but I guess I will now. I don't really play the Perrodin because I know I don't play it right. Maybe F will be the key for me.

I hate him.

My absolutely favorite song to play (fiddle), maybe because it's so challenging. Really makes me have to think.

Watch here a young Travis Matte pull it off without a sweat!

I think I'll just pick up my F accordion. :-)

The Lost Bayou Ramblers do this on their Live at the Blue Moon CD. On "J'ai été au bal" they switch keys in the middle, and then switch back. sounds awesome.

Switching in Jetais au Bal, is not that hard, even I can do that one, but Perrodin..............

Yeah you right...

Good luck to all while practicing that.

I gave up before I started. Speaking of changing keys, Marc Savoy plays J'ai Passé Devant Ta Porte in 3 keys, are there any other songs that can be played in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd?

Switching keys between comes easier for me going between C and G, for some reason, it's hard for me finding transition notes between F and either G or C, I guess because important note missing (?). I suppose with a band they can add the transition sometimes.

Perrodin in F is rough! I'm surprised I can pull it off.

Beautifully executed! I didn't know this Eric guy. Very talented...
