an accordian?

(Borrowing from a Gary Larson cartoon) I’m convinced that when our friends on the other side of the aisle die and go to Hell, greeting them is a band made up of thousands of bagpipers, banjo players and accordionists.
And they are playing “Baby Elephant Walk.”

Actually, I had to look this guy up, and it is a ‘concertina’. I have no idea what the difference is, but...I’m gonna find out...:)

This is a little snippet I found:

Aleksandr Hrustevich, Internet Accordion Star
On the Internet can you become a star overnight; just ask Ukranian accordionist Aleksandr Hrustevich. Late last week, this video of Hrustevich performing the third movement of “Summer” from Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” swept across the Internet faster than his fingers across his bayan (Russian chromatic button accordion). From NPR to Digg, viewers raved about his performance, mostly along the lines of “Wow, I never knew an accordion could sound like this!” Indeed it can.

[GeronL]

Its been up about a year now. Sounds like an orchestra.

[Humbug]

Yes, amazing. I had no idea the accordion was capable of being played like that.

[rlmorel]

LOL...one of my favorites is the one where the devil is opening the door and says something like “Here is your room, Maestro” and it contains a bunch of kids wearing glasses holding banjos...:)

[proudpapa]

Amazing!

I bet he can play some mean Polka’s!

[rlmorel]

LOL...I definitely don’t see the things that burst onto the Internet scene, that is for sure. It takes me a while...:)

[Yardstick]

Okay, I’m impressed.

[rlmorel]

Heh, I have a vision of a bunch of elderly polka dancers trying to keep up with his polkas...

[rlmorel]

It made my mouth drop open.

I had to look extra careful to make sure it wasn’t some kind of hoax video.

[Jet Jaguar]

Amazing.

[Steelfish]

Thanks!

[firebrand]

Someone told me there is a guy who plays “Flight of the Bumblebee” on a tuba.

[silverleaf]

bttt

[SamAdams76]

Sounds more like a Bach organ piece.

Anyway, why is it that we are only copying what was composed 300-400 years ago? Nobody ever composes anything new anymore.

[Gargantua]

I hate the accordion, but that was no ordinary accordion. Instead of a single row of 24 piano-style keys (as most "accordians" have), this thing had a couple hundred buttons that he was smoking on.

Ridiculous. Amazing. Inhuman.

ditto, I am far behind too.

Did ya see the dancing baby? /sarc
