Marche Alexandrine, a French Canadian tune written by   Alfred Montmarquette, played on a 30 button Jeffries G/D Anglo concertina

Marche Alexandrine 10-7-2025

I love this time of year when the light seems to play on the floors.  It's just a peaceful thing I notice.  Certainly not earthshaking, but lovely.
Thank you to David Dunham for his friendship and his unending help in mastering my piano tracks.

November Migration

Hey….. Whatcha been up to lately? I’ve been outside working in the yard and garden. Reminded me of this old ranch hand who lived down by the river a couple decades ago. One autumn, he dug out every last quack grass root from his large garden and then died shortly thereafter, leaving a weed-free garden behind, for someone else that next Spring. I’m not too far behind him as far as digging out quack grass roots goes. In my spare time, I have been fumbling about on Ukulele. Luckily for you, this is not another Ukulele Song. Hahahaha. This song probably would have never happened if it wasn’t for a string buzz on the low E string. All music and vocals are by me and my slide guitar. This is a new realm of musical exploration for me. There are some recent slide ideas on this that I had been working up, but they never seemed to gel until now. Ah….the serendipity of a buzzing string in the life of a struggling musician. Anyway, I hope you like this new song. Thanks for dropping by, Mark

Sail Away

Pata Pata

I heard this delightful tune here: https://soundcloud.com/kristi-kool-132402525/meremehe-seiklus-4   
 I especially liked the big accordion bass sounds and extra notes in the performance. For my version I just try to get the melody going. Later the fancy stuff I can add perhaps with some more practice.

I found the lyric somewhere - It's about a guy that loves to go sailing more then he loves his wife. I'll try to find the lyric again.

A new take of my track Pegless but now with my new musical friends Hilary Dirlam and Alan 'Newshoe' Ingall. It's called collaboration!

Püha öö / Silent Night (composed by Franz Xaver Gruber)

I like to record various tunes  I play  on my accordion from time to time,  some new tunes I make up, and tunes I learn from those I follow on soundcloud.   Sometimes you will find  collab projects here too.

I try to put a link where to find the notes or the other players in the track descriptions.
