I´m coming home !!

Hello !

I´m coming home !! Link#1

Yours J

Re: I´m coming home !!

That is WAY cool! I've always thought that in the right hands the 10 button accordion would be a great substitute for the harmonica in a lot of blues songs. How about "Trouble In Mind" next?

Re: I´m coming home !!

Nice playing and nice sounding box!

Re: I´m coming home !!

That was so cool! What key would that be in, on a C box? Just wondering . . .

Re: I´m coming home !!

Chris does this often on his piano accordion. I do it every now and then on my ten button. Long ago, I use to play it with Kevin Wimmer. He did it in a Zydeco style without the minors on a ten button, but it was Richard LeBouef who I first heard do it on the ten button.

Re: I´m coming home !!

So Ganey, what key would you play it in?

Re: I´m coming home !!

C box and key of G...

Re: I´m coming home !!

Sweet sounding rendition, great playing; the both of yez! Nice sounding accordion at that

Re: I´m coming home !!

Key of G on a C.

Re: I´m coming home !!

Nice nice playing. congrats.

Re: I´m coming home !!

Nice tune, J. Are you also the builder of the Helin accordion?

Re: I´m coming home !!

Yes, I´m builder of Accordion-Helin...

Re: I´m coming home !!

J.Helin:I really liked your version of Comin' Home. I followed the links to your performance at the Talvikoronikka:
excellent! I especially like Paper in my Shoe.
My wife and I play in a Cajun/Zydeco band in Seattle.
I was struck by the fact that many of our songs and
arrangements are the same! See link #1

Re: I´m coming home !!

Love it!

Re: I´m coming home !!

For reference Link #1 is Clifton's version. It's so great. Great Job Helin!

Re: I´m coming home !!

Yes, wonderful job.

Great idea, picking up a Clifton tune on the 10-button.

I wonder how many other Clifton tunes would work
on the Cajun Accordion

Anyone familiar with the tune "You've got me walking the floor"?

Buckwheat used to cover it on piano accordion .. I wonder
if it would work on the Cajun Accordion ..

Anyway, great job

Clifton Songs covered on ten button:
Tous les temps en temps
Lucille
Zydeco Sont Pas Sale'
My Baby She's gone to stay

Rockin' Sidney Songs covered on ten button

This is just off the top of my head. I am sure there are more.

Re: I´m coming home !!

Thanks for the info, Ganey.
I did not know that!

Re: I´m coming home !!

Great man. I especially liked both your solos. Outstanding and very subtle rendition. And that on ten buttons!!
Chapeau Bas, mon ami!
Lovely little box too.
