"This video is Private"?

Dr.,

Did you by chance make this video private?

When I click on the website link, youtube says:
"This video is Private".

*single* most used trick in all of 3 row playing

the flat 3rd -> major 3rd slide is the *single* most used trick in all of 3 row playing

you can do it on the outside row and the middle row
you find the flat 3rd in the row 'above' - more inside

on a F Bb Eb, you would be in C on the F row
the flat 3rd of C would be Eflat, of course it is in the Bb row
pull
find the E on the C row
the Eb will be one row above and about 1.5 buttons farther from the floor

yes, in either octave

Re: Can anyone lend a hand on a 3-row accordion tune? Paper in my Shoe?

Yes, it is in the key of C, played mainly on the outside row of an F-Bb-Eb triple row. As Larry says, it uses the minor third/major third blend as a very important part of the song. That's what makes it bluesy.

On your G-C-F, I suppose you would play it in D on the outside row.

I think it is the very first recorded zydeco hit. Boozoo beat Clifton to those bragging rights by a year or so.
