September seemed to go well - at least for me. I got the Church Point Breakdown under the fingers.

Time for another 2-step. The Ossun 2-step. Man.. this is a cool driving song that just goes and goes.

There are a goodly number of recordings of it on Youtube:

Bryan Lafleur does a good one with good video on the buttons

Marc Savoy tears it up

Oh, you know very well who that anonymous one is, watch the fingers.

Here is an awesome one from one of my favorite players and heck of a nice guy, Eric O'blanc.

Wow, perfect. What a great version.

Sorry I haven't been posting, John - we're trying to sell our house and move, and life has been too hectic to steal the time for it. I've missed so many SOM's now (I've been playing every one of them, just haven't posted any - yet), I decided to get a jump on this one; that, and I had a little window of opportunity pop up. Plus, I'd already been attempting this one before you called it.

Ha! Just realized that the 3rd link you listed at the start of this thread is me! I still don't remember posting it, and I don't know where that "Accordion Fool" title came from . . . I suspect my wife has been fooling around on the computer . . .

Oh well, I guess I can compare and see if it's gotten any better or worse . . .

I think you play much better when in the Jumpsuit!

I was wearing a jumpsuit in both - so both must be best!

It ís Ex aequo.
But both are very usefull for anybody who want to learn playing the accordion.
Is this song also a part of Lawrence Walker Medley ?

Johnny can't dance
Melville Two Step
Ossun Two Step

At link2 a version from Brett Thibodeaux.

Now... that is an idea. Do all three and culminate in the Walker Medley!!

Nice job on Ossun, Jamey. I was wondering where you were.

I've always loved this song, hope to have a version up. Meanwhile, just learned of Cameron Dupuy, link #1.

By the way, no mirrors were harmed in the making of this video.

Hi John,
