I love the accordian and you play it well, nice work!

oh Fred I am loving it.... it causes such an itchy feet feeling that I am currently dreaming away to strange lands !

so often on my lunch break i hear accordians played by buskers.... if any could do the instrument true justice like this .. i probably would be late back from my lunch and have emptied my pockets of all my money - magical

We lost Peter and Mary, two wonderful soundclouders @soundcloud.com/beetroute and world travelers. The comment next to this one at 00:00 was from them. This tune is dedicated to them - every single time I play it (and I play it often because it's one of my all time favs) my heart is with them.

I'm in love with this song. Beautiful !!!

Reminds me a song called "Et qui peut quitter son ami..."

Reminds me of my beautiful girl, and her wild hair, bright green eyes and the softest skin and warmest touch in the world. ^_^

Here's a little waltz I improvised and played years ago on my first accordion: a Russian Ilmera Bajan. 

This little tune appears in the "Cycling Central Asia" film made by two soundcloud friends: the Britisch cyclists Mary Thompson and Peter Root. Their film is on their blog and can be found here: www.twoonfourwheels.com/archives/2344 They also documented sounds along the way and have posted them here @soundcloud.com/beetroute

A journey of intimate sounds, where the violin speaks between silence and subtle electronic echoes.
Sparse melodies, minimalist textures, and delicate harmonies create a space both fragile and profound.
Light remixes bridge classical music with modern soundscapes.

United Front Song (Das  Einheitsfrontlied)

Wir sind das Bauvolk der kommenden Welt,
wir sind der Sämann, die Saat und das Feld.
Wir sind die Schnitter der kommenden Mahd,
wir sind die Zukunft und wir sind die Tat.

So flieg, du flammende, du rote Fahne, 
voran dem Wege, den wir ziehn. 
Wir sind der Zukunft getreue Kämpfer, 
wir sind die Arbeiter von Wien. 

Herrn der Fabriken, ihr Herren der Welt,
endlich wird eure Herrschaft gefällt.
Wir, die Armee, die die Zukunft erschafft,
sprengen der Fesseln engende Haft.

So flieg, du flammende, du rote Fahne, 
voran dem Wege, den wir ziehn. 
Wir sind der Zukunft getreue Kämpfer, 
wir sind die Arbeiter von Wien. 

Wie auch die Lüge uns schmähend umkreist,
alles besiegend erhebt sich der Geist.
Kerker und Eisen zerbricht seine Macht,
wenn wir uns rüsten zur letzten Schlacht.

2x
So flieg, du flammende, du rote Fahne, 
voran dem Wege, den wir ziehn. 
Wir sind der Zukunft getreue Kämpfer, 
wir sind die Arbeiter von Wien.
