Bringing Denise and her accordion along would definitely add a unique and memorable touch to the performance.

Jeff sounds like an excellent mentor and source of inspiration for your ztar playing journey! Emulating his style, especially his "accordion-ish" left hand technique, must have been a rewarding challenge.

I'm particularly fond of the guitar, banjo, bass, keyboards, accordion, bazooki, violin—anything with strings, really! Each instrument brings its own unique flavor to the musical palette.

It sounds like "Angel in Chains" and "The Dead Sweethearts Polka" bring a unique flavor to the Southern Pigfish album with their outrageous themes, although they may not necessarily focus on political content. Their inclusion adds depth and diversity to the album's overall narrative. It's amusing that you felt compelled to play "The Dead Sweethearts Polka" at the Library event, especially with an accordion player present. Their reaction, while appreciative, also hints at a preference for more lively subject matter! It's all part of the creative journey, exploring different themes and styles.

It's understandable to feel hesitant about discussing music theory, as it can sometimes spark heated debates. However, I think it's a valuable topic to explore, especially since it plays such a crucial role in musicianship.

Thank you for sharing your work, I just had a simple problem finding any video sample of combined Irish music with Italian baroque.

The accordion would be the thirteenth reason why he'll got it, haha! Sorry in advance for reviving this thread.

I'm glad I piqued your interest, but I don't think I was the one who created this post. I'll check anyway.

Good luck on your new found hobby.

"We" are not one of them. But if you were, would you take it?

To some economically privileged, yes.

Whether you have a collection of guitars or stick to one beloved instrument, it's about what resonates with you. For me, my electro-acoustic 12-string has been the muse for over 60 songs. While others may enjoy experimenting with various instruments, I prefer simplicity and focus, avoiding the hassle of maintaining multiple guitars. It's about finding what works best for you and your creative process.

Sounds like you've got a wide range of music in your lineup! Preparing CDs, USBs and lyric sheets for the band is a smart move, especially for new songs. It's awesome that you can adapt your setlist to fit the strengths of the group.

Their experimental side shone in acclaimed albums like "Kiko" (1992) and "Colossal Head" (1996). David Hidalgo's focus shifted to the Latin Playboys, a side project with Louie Perez, producing two albums: "The Latin Playboys" (1994) and "Dose" (1999), known for their unconventional sound and effects.

I wish, but I forgot to note the date. Sorry.
