  1. Ok, I will freely admit that I clicked that video without a lot of hope, but FRAKIN’ WOW!
    I would have bet a pile of money that no one could play Vivaldi like that on an accordian.
    Been a while, was that Winter?

  2. Oh to have the speed, dexterity and loving touch of an 18 year old male’s hands;or even musical ability.

  3. Amazing. I have to confess I’ve never liked the sound of an accordion (organs aren’t my thing either). That however, was fabulous. Bravo!
    Thanks, for opening my mind to this and other things this week cjunk, et al.

    An instrument called accordion was first patented in 1829 by Cyrill Demian in Vienna . (Interestingly, the original patent shows the name “eoline” crossed out and replaced with “accordion” in different handwriting). Demian’s instrument bore little resemblance to modern instruments: It only had a left hand keyboard; the right hand simply operated the bellows. One key feature for which Damian sought the patent were the sounding of an entire chord by depressing one key. His instrument also could sound two different chords with the same key: one for each bellows direction (press, draw); this is called a bisonoric action. If we reed the text of the patent careful and take into account that at that time in Vienna mouth harmonicas with “Kanzellen” (chambers) ware soled already for many years and also other bigger Hand bellows driven Instrument ware soled for some years. He could not get a patent for a aeoline, because it already ware there. He could not get a patent for the diatonic arranging of keys the system ware in use on moth blown instruments. So he thought it is a good idea to get a patent for a accompany instrument a accordion played with the left hand, also opposite to the way the chromatic hand harmonica ware played at that time. And he mentions, because it is so small and light weight it must be a good instrument to take along on journeys and accompany oneself when singing. Demian also motions that the instrument my be combined with a treble side as well, but he think it is better to stay with the bass side on its own to keep the cost and the weight down. Still his patent included doubled the version. by the Year of 1833 we find a great variety of instruments mentioned in the Writing of the musician Adolph Müller “Schule für Accordion”.

  7. New I know your English sucks so let me help you out here.
    “government should stop peopel who bother Muslim Canadian intentionally inside or outside Canada”
    should read
    “Government should stop Muslim people from coming to Canada”.
    You’re welcome.

  8. Wow, that’s one awesome accordion player; plays me into a hole hands down!
    PS – good one Jake~~

  9. It would appear that some of the kids today…. are doing just fine!
    That was quite a show.

  10. Holy Crap! Is that one of them there idiot savants?
    I want to see him do Hendrix and Beethoven and The Right of Spring.
    (Any old fool can do Stockhausen).
    Just amazing 🙂

  11. I’m sorry.The Accordian is not politically acceptable; it is the refuge of ignoramuses and dorks.
    Anyone who thought that this video was a great work of art is just misunderstanmding the fundementals. Great Works of Art (GWoA) are created only when the people rise up against the bourgois art fraternity and shiot on their christ.

  12. Did you know that I used to play accordian?
    Kept getting many requests to play “Far,far, away”.

  13. Tire: good one we can expect any job sing play any game but not reatled job from this PM
    plus
    Have you heard recent story of
    Jake!! ass
    Jewish
    David Lethermennn
    RW you listen too
    every body know
    that jewish are cheap in money spending
    while I believe Jewish are smart in spending that is reason we can see Bloomberg balan is bursting of 16 billion dollar cash in NEW york
    help his brohter Jewish David Lederman or whoever
    what i mean
    all dirty men has three bills:
    one for prostition bills
    one for thier secreter assitant bills
    one for his wife bills
    while in USA some of above can
    2 in one shampoo
    now we have Dear David Letter man
    he is smart he know if he goes to any hotle or even MOtel they know his face to go with
    pay ing prostition money
    then he must hired
    a
    assitant or secretor
    taht act like secretor and act as prostition for him
    that is reason
    his body tried to extortion him for money
    because
    David Lederman used women as work illegal prosttion for him under his job is called
    sexual harrasment in office work
    as too many men does it in Canada and USA
    that is reason most Muslim should not come to Canda
    that all other jake ass nonMuslim do any humuliation and abuse to women and drug
    old fox not married for 30 years has reason behind David Letterman why he must married
    he has enough money to go every late show with some one and get enough pay cheq to hire any women do work for him and do prostiton for him
    therefore
    I can think soon
    David Ledderman must get fired
    but becauase all Newyorken from top to bottom in New york are similar and all nonMuslim are not have any job to waht their f mother of them teach them then must be fight for Muslim not come to Newyork to know what the hack they are doing
    now we can conclude any senator in USA or anybody who hate Muslim are people who has affair or has big of thier income goes to prostition
    and said ban all sanction we do not like Muslim come close to us to know us what baster we are
    every time some one told me do not close to me I know what they mean by that!!! nothing come from us to them unfortunatly
    get it!!

  14. finally a little respect and vindication for the Schmenge brothers for keeping the accordion in the forefront of Canadian composing and recital….
    the Schmenges were musical cultural giants and it is indeed garatifying to see a fine young man such as we saw continuing in their tradition.

  15. foobert…it’s spelled accordiOn….
    accordians were those frogs that were shipped from canada to new orleans long ago..the exiled accordians queen was called Vangelis and she was very musical….hence the instrument’s name…
    i’m dismayed at times at how little canadians know of their history…and their rich cultural heritage…

  16. Note from Liberal brain trust: Oops
    Posted: October 05, 2009, 10:00 AM by NP Editor
    Full Comment, Kelly McParland, Canadian politics
    Memo found in dumpster behind the Toronto offices of Davey Apps and Brock, Liberal brain trust:
    Foolproof plan for returning Natural Governing Party to rightful place in Ottawa:
    1. Blame Conservatives for causing worldwide meltdown. (Ignore overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Canadians don’t pay close attention to complex issues like this)
    2. Support budget but put government on probation, demanding quarterly report cards on which continued Liberal support will be contingent. (The financial situation is sure to continue deteriorating, ensuring decline on Conservative support and giving us the opportunity to highlight the failure of their efforts on a regular basis. No need to prepare a back-up plan on this one)
    3. Demand rapid expenditure of stimulus money
    4. Criticize rapid expenditure of stimulus money as precipitate and wasteful
    5. Attack introduction of deficit spending
    6. Demand more spending
    7. Focus national attention on Employment Insurance crisis
    8. Threaten election on EI issue. (NDP and Bloc support is guaranteed, ensuring government will be forced into a humiliating retreat as rage over EI becomes national crisis).
    9. Keep a low profile through summer while continue election threats, putting heat on Tories. We can count on MI’s high popularity ratings and distrust of Harper to keep spotlight on government while MI takes a breather)
    10. Use opening of fall session to continue 3,4,5,6. Keep mum on alternatives. Overwhelming unpopularity of Harper government should ensure we get a bye on this. (In a pinch, declare Conservative budgeting untrustworthy and maintain “honest” budgeting is impossible until we see the books. This always works).
    11. As momentum continues in our direction (polls should be showing a surge by this point) pull together all the strings — continuing decline of economy, growing discontent over EI crisis, MI’s strong leadership ratings — to ramp up discontent with Conservative performance. Use resulting momentum to withdraw support from government and put Layton in the crosshairs.
    12. Layton will be forced to fall in with our new position given NDP weakness. (Contingency plan: Should NDP back the Tories, denounce the “new NDP-Conservative coalition”, neatly turning the tables on Harper. There is a chance this will just serve to remind voters of the first coalition, but we view this possibility as remote, given the short memory of voters).
    13. Introduce new attack on ineffectiveness of government on international stage. (Note to selves: be sure to check first that no high-profile international events — G8, UN etc. — are in the offing)
    14. Introduce motion of no confidence in government, stressing reborn unity of Liberal party and revamped platform (as yet unrevealed) to harness Canadian yearning for return to days of strong and reliable Liberal government. Cruise to victory in ensuing election on strength of regained support in Quebec and Ontario. (Note: MI’s popularity should see us through in Ontario, while Coderre can be counted on to deliver Quebec).

  17. Prime Minister Stephen Harper will rack up the Air Miles next month. This year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum meeting will be held in Singapore beginning Nov. 10.2009 There was speculation about whether Harper, who will attend the APEC meeting of 21 member countries, will make his long-promised trip to China.But after Singapore, Harper will head west and spend two days visiting India, another emerging economic power.He will meet with officials in Mumbai and New Delhi. The China trip is still in the cards, but it will be a separate voyage, the CBC’s Crawford , how about middle east !!?
