Re: Songs for beginners

Oh, Vidrine. Would you happen to have a "D" accordion? If you do, seek out Amede Ardoin's recordings on youtube that are under the record title "Mama I'll Be Long Gone" the complete collection of Amede Ardoin. Every song is done on a "D" accordion. He plays all 3 positions, but still on a "D" accordion.
Here's the link below and I'll attach it at the very bottom in links also. The album list shows up on the right. There are 34 songs. 2 or 3 of them are repeats named incorrectly, but a treasure trove none the less if you're willing to bear down and give Amede a try. If I were to have a son who wanted to learn accordion under my guidance, after he learned to play the triangle, he would learn on a "D" accordion first and learn Amede's songs first. This would open him up to all of the con artist that have copied his songs since time memorial. I'd have him start with the root of the tree instead of screwing around fighting with all the got dam branches so to speak.
