I tried this tune several years ago and play it again today.  I would like to make a version closer to this:  https://soundcloud.com/the-klezmer-tunes/the-happy-nigun

I heard this tune here : https://soundcloud.com/edopennings/01arvonjenkka?in=newshoe/sets/jenkka-time

It seemed like a fun little tune to try out on my acccordion.

Lyrics: Jore
Music: Suno

Pitäis kyllä ostaa uusi kolttu
Mutta kun mä olen karski solttu
Nythän niissä on se kiva kuosi
Edellisestä on jo kohta vuosi

Kasarmille sen jos päälle laittais
Kyllä nauru kavereille maittais
Alikessu huutais: Mikä mies?!
Naama punaisena, otsa hies. 

Sotkussa hän viereen istumaan
Tulis, kysyis mistä noita saa?
Hommaisinko yhden hällekin?
Hymyillen vastaisin: tietenkin!

Ukrainaan jos lähden sotimaan
Jättäisin siis taakse kotimaan
Mutta kolttu mukaan otetaan
Tulee huutia tai mitä vaan

أبوعركي البخيت - يوم رحيلك

يا والدة جهزيني ما تبكي

After ominous warnings for several years about the end of support I have updated the sofware to latest versions.  Now testing to see if the sound stuff on the computer still works.  Success ??

This tune popped into the accordion for testing the microphone, etc.  Can't think of the name though - maybe someone knows ???

remembered tune - forgotten name

I heard this delightful tune here played on an anglo concertina - https://soundcloud.com/concertinist/marche-alexandrine-10-7-2025

I was curious how it would sound on the accordion.  First play with all the bass reeds and treble reads.  Second play with just the higher reeds in the bass and the low/high reeds for the treble.

Marche Alexandrine,

Johannexis Podgolainen Varkaudesta  päin
Hänet minä viime kuussa Kuopiossa näin
Hänestähän sanotaan et on niin mukava
Puheenpartensa kulkeekin aina mukana

Mihin tahansa sen Johannexiksen tie vie
Puheessaan on mukana aina mie ja sie

Ortodoksisuudestaan on hieman ylpeä
Saimaan aalloilla hän kyllä tykkää kylpeä
Muikkukukot pakettiin ja eurot tiskille
Vaihtaa juoman mielessään ja menee kahville

Podgolainen ympärilleen juttuseuraa saa
Leppoisilla tarinoillaan muita naurattaa
Hänestähän sanotaan et on niin mukava
Puheenpartensa kulkeekin aina mukana

This site can be seen as a musical tale of the members of the band called The Mescaline Smugglers: Davy McGowan, Jore Heikkila and Tuomas Laitila. But it also includes their other bands, and bands in which they play together in different combinations or solo projects, before and after The Mescaliners. Listen to one track a day and maybe you'll have heard everything after 5 or 6 years. That should make you feel better - money back guarantee!
