I like it Peer, nice and laid back. That accordion sounds great.

Re: Song of the Month for December 2014 - La Valse Criminelle

Nice!! I wish I could sing along with playing. I can sing the song, but not while playing.

Ya know... we need a little technique primer on how to do those cool triplets. I can't figure that out for the life of me.

Heres my effort,usual rough shod production.
Christmas song was cut well short- memory card full....
Its the thought that counts!

Have really enjoyed recording and watching SOTM tunes over the past year and I'm looking forward another year on da box. This is AJ signing off-

Bon Noel!

Re: Song of the Month for December 2014 - La Valse Criminelle

Nicely done AJ. I like how that box growls.

So.. how about a little primer on how to do those cool little triplets?

Nice AJ!

Here's my, maybe too much in a hurry, version. May be my favorite waltz. Played on a Weltmeister C, which is for sale if anyone needs a decent starter box.

Bryan- That playing flows lovely, the quick less concious take is sometimes the best. surprised nobodies snapped up that welty yet seeing you've tweaked it n'all.
