Finally had a sec to get one recorded and posted...

Great Chris,you make it look so easy,Thanks

Dammmnation, that was smokin'! Thanks Chris! Wow!

Can't get any better than that!! I was already hoping that you would post this one.
Apart from the rock solid rhythm:
Great use of the "b" note at around 0:45. (I was already wondering: where did he get that half note from, but it's really there on the C box), great "high" turn, and of course, as a cherry on the pie, the jazzy riff and chord at the end.
Fabulous!!

Learning Moment !!

huh? ...

well ...

When you switch to the key of F, you will see that you are very limited: you miss the Bb note in the scale, you can't use the basses properly etc. .. (apart from getting mad in the fist place for pushing when you should pul and v.v.)
You can sob about that, but, if you're inventive, it opens some new doors as well! And that's exactly what Chris does here, by putting that "wrong" B note to use. A good example of thinking "out of the box!"

Chris,

Absolutely wonderful .. Challenging but not show-off-y,
smooth, precise and nice use of dynamics.

I can hear the rhythm pulsing

Thanks for taking the time to post and share with us.

Hey Chris,
Hat off to ya. You are a monster on the accordion!
You should probably do a slow version too for us to pick up some nuances. thanks....

Hello everybody. Thanks for all the kind comments...but I have been playIng this contraption for longer than most folks here. I don't get a chance to post much here anymore but wanted to say thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed Peer's analysis! But I don't know if I would say I'm the master! Kirk-I figured everyone had some slowdowner and could use this vid but if/when I have a moment, I'll try to post a slow version and or something about the F position. I've enjoyed everyone's versions so far--I figured more would try, though!

Hey, I'm more or less ready, just haven't had free time to record. 'Course, I might have to do 57 takes . . .

And I know there are a couple more coming in . . .

Okay, here's mine. And I did it in one "take" instead of 57; not that it wouldn't have benefited from a few more tries - I'm just scared Momma will come home and catch me not at work! So y'all will have to live with the flubs . . . but then, you ought to be used to them by now . . .

Nice job, Jamey. You are an inspiration.

Leave the 57 varieties to Heinz ...
I like this one.

Cool Jamey, you got it. I'm going to keep working on it too and check out the different versions.
I'll think I'll do it in the different key too and segue back and forth like Big did. It's pretty nice.

Chris, "analysis" is a big word, it's just a statement.
But when I say "master" I mean what I say. You seldom meet somebody who can really play AND really teach (even online!). Most times it's one or the other.
It's always great fun to hear your versions. There's always a certain swing to them that's hard to capture.
By me anyway! Keep 'em comin' !!
