Hummmm dual accordions.

Yeah dual is cool.... but check this out:

We put a dream team together a ways back.
Now through all the music this gathering produced, there was a finale showing of accordions.

Jason Frey, Jude Moreau, Chris Miller, Jesse Lege'

Seems to me there was a fifth accordion, can't quite remember just who it was ... help me out here Jude and Chris (who was it?) ... it may have been Ed Poullard on accordion with the other four. (?) But I am thinking it was Andre Michot that set down the guitar and grabbed a box and joined in to make it 5.

Now then: This band arrangement was over the top heaping with talent (the greatest assembly of 8 that I personally have seen/heard). I was courious and sorta wanted to see what would come off with multiple accordions doing matters with the same song(s) ... it works fine with some hot two steppers... but when ya slow things down, it is more acclimated to a single accordion (at lest for what I am thinking).

So here's Jesse winding it up on stage come the end of the set ...all of a sudden, another accordion pops in (Jude), then another (Jason) and another (Andre)... all the while ya got Chris Miller in front sporting a big ole blue (as I recall) piano accordion and just oozing with that " oh my Gawd check out that sound" ... it beat anything I'd ever seen or heard! PERSONIFIED ! It was enough to make a sound man nuts

Shucks, I never come across 2 let alone 5 accordions doing it simultaniously performing on the stage till then. But let me tell ya, those skally wags were cooking it and serving it up, pushing and pulling, yanking and a whole gob more, I can tell you. Don't know why that stage did not catch fire, cause there was a whole lot of heat and energy taking place that day.

When all was said and done; There was a gob of high five slapping, a ton of yapping and a gob of bull you know what bragging going on... That was and still is (in my estimation)the "Dream Team" the most outlandishly terrific assembly of the best, come together on one stage as a custom unique band of musical French gypsies... Said it could'nt be done, SHAAA, well they did alright.

Now then: If they'd just do something with those Gawd Dang Dat Tapes I give em, we'd all be able to slobber over the end results of that assembly!
