Tracy Schwarz and Dirk Powell

Who do you believe to be the more skilled accordion player? Being that both played with the Balfa family, who do you think influenced Tracy's playing most? Nonc Allie Young, Nathan Abshire or someone else? Dirk stated that Nathan Abshire, Bois Sec and Aldus Roger were influences on his (Dirk's) playing.

Re: Tracy Schwarz and Dirk Powell

I can't comment on who is the more skilled player, but IIRC on his Homespun instructional videos Dirk mentions Octa Clark as a big influence.
