This tune started out as a test piece to play while repairing an accordion, and ended up being a favorite to those who know it.  Chromatic grace notes couple with staccato quarter notes to build four-fingered chords. The middle smoothes out much like a Grand March, then returns to the top and out. Whether you're checking for compression, or playin' up a storm, this one's a keeper!

Which came first, the polka or the pen? In this case triplets and eighth note arpeggios fit the right hand so nicely, it was like "doin' what comes naturally." A favorite to those who have heard it.

Fun to Play and Sing! Boogie bass, light-hearted lyrics, and a blues progression reminicent of the 50's. A great "feature tune" to play for friends, or out on the job.

A truly beautiful, majestic arrangement with lots of scalic and chromatic bass patterns and driving triplets in the finale complement extended harmonies throughout. The music comes to a rousing close with a deceptive cadence followed by a triumphant chordal glissando. Enjoy!

"Greet the folks at home," says the shipbound sailor to the swallows. This beautiful Scandinavian waltz means so much to so many who have come to a new land. The bellows and basses of the accordion really get exercised conveying the nostalgia of it all.

Raise a glass, or let someone else raise a glass while you play this Bavarian delight. Typical alternating bass patterns plus tuba-like bass runs and some Alphine "yodeling" in the right hand. Prost!

Sing, dance, and sway to this care-free Bavarian waltz. Parallel 3rds. and 6ths. in the treble, and light syncopation in the bass complement a very pretty, conjunct melody.

This nostalgic, magical love song presented in a rubato fashion unfolds so beautifully on the accordion. One can almost imagine Edith Piaf singing to the troops. A surprise deceptive cadence allows the melody to soar before coming to a close.

The familiar German tune, Bergvagabunden, is fun to sing, dance, and play at the start of any party with new words in English, and a nice syncopation of "quarter-half-quarter" notes. So, let's have a Party!

This traditional, beautiful hymn, a.k.a. Up From The Grave He Arose, with its scalic, majestic bass lines and treble arpeggios makes it a worthy solo or accompaniment for congregational singing. It will definitely get everyone's attention!

A very pretty, simple, romantic waltz with complementary bass patterns; a standard to many; a nice treat to those who have yet to hear it.

"If you're in California, I'll be there too." And then...............the familiar bridge where everyone sings their hearts out! For group singing, this one's a must!

Elegant, delicate, nostalgic, this "Old World" piece with scalic bass patterns sprinkled thoughout is a delight to play on the accordion.
