Welcome to the world of international accordion music. This collection
contains a sampling of ethnic folk music from Europe and the Americas
and forms the foundation of a basic folk accordion repertoire. These
songs are from many nations. They are crowd pleasers and they are fun to
play. I have played most of these songs in the various bands I have
played with over the years. These melodies have stood the test of time,
so what are you waiting for? Open the book, get your accordion out and
let s play some music! One word about these songs: I generally learn a
song and then play it by heart-by memory as opposed to playing it by
reading from a sheet of music. I believe this allows for more personal
expression and interpretation which can be affected by audience response
or the way I feel at the time. You ll notice that on most of the
performances on the CD I didn t play repeats. Because of the limited
time available on a disc we found we couldn t fit all the tunes if we
played them as written. Written by Bruce Bollerud, June 2007.
