(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.”

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

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.

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.

Unbelievable. It almost sounds like the entire small orchestra used during Vivaldi’s era. Staggering.

Two amazing things. First, of course, is the ability of this guy. Second, I was just sitting here listening to Vivaldi (Vivaldi's Greatest-The Seasons-LSO), and then I check in at FR, and see your post.

Did you read the comments? I found one that was especially good...

(setup: Some had been belittling his playing an Accordian_

Poster responds:

"What do you do?" she asks, feigning interest...
"I'm a musician..." he replies.
"OH! What do you play?" she asks, trying to feign disinterest.
"The accordion." he replies.
"Oh." She states, not feigning at all.
"Yea, I'm kind of a virtuoso..." he says, picking up his accordion.
.
.
.
By the third measure, she is his.

I'm still smiling.

OK, ok, but can he make you got to get up and can’t sit still so you gotta go dance?

Fabulous! Who would have dreamed that an accordion could have such an expressive range or produce such sounds? This boy is very talented to have achieved such a performance.
