This song has been recorded at Mirador Sound Studio in Corconne (30)in the South of France by Jeff Fernandez. The idea was to see (and hear, of course) how the accordion would sound on songs (covers) you would never imagine being accompanied by an accordion. I consider this playlist as work in progress and a step towards possible new musical horizons. The experience was great fun and I hope you'll enjoy!

SNOWFKAKE

Easy Christmas song to learn with children. 
Here my own little "homemade" version with Carillon Pianot' Réf 9878 and acoustic guitar

Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake
Little snowflake
Falling from the sky
Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake
Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling on my head


Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake
Little snowflake
Falling from the sky
Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake
Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling on my nose


Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake
Little snowflake
Falling from the sky
Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake
Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling in my hand


Falling on my head
Falling on my nose
Falling in my hand

Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake ……

YAKABOUM - SNOWFLAKE

Goodnite (Melody Gardot - Cover)

My father used to sing me this song when I was a child ... I always understood "happy rice" instead of Ackee Rice (or Akey Rice) which is a traditional jamaican dish .. and I believe that is what he sang ... So that's why I still sing it this way, sorry for this mistake ! ... but maybe "Ackee Rice" is a very happy meal ?

Jamaica Farewell (Harry Belafonte - Cover)

I wanted to try a different version of this song, far away from the original country stile, a bit more like a gospel. No guitar, just accordion .. and overlaying three vocals.

Speak Your Heart (Lizz Wright - Cover)

When I was a child and before I even could understand the lyrics of this song, I always found it had something comforting and very positive ! It has been a very enchanting experience to overlay and hear the 4 voices together  ... which, of course, is only possible when you record it.
