So what if the machines break down? This is worth it.

I sure don't mind, Alan!  Thanks, I love the sound of this.  Good to know the machinery's still running.

Generous soundclouders shared their tracks to add my accordion or I added to their tracks.  In the process, I've had a lot of fun and learned a lot as well.

A live recording of "Georgia Camp Meeting". I apologize for the harmonica almost obliterating the fiddle.

Georgia Camp Meeting

Here's "The Black Hills Waltz" from an old practice tape of Gail and Bob with Pop Wagner.  The tune comes from Arizona fiddle K.C. Kartchner.

"The Westby Waltz" comes from fiddler Adolph Westby from Clearwater County, MN. We learned it from Clay Riness who got it from Tip Bagstad of Westby, WI. This recording is from our CD "Rural Route 2" from 1995.

Sairaan äijän kainalossa
On niin jännä haisu
Siinä on se paikka jossa
Tunnelma on vaisu

Tätä seikkaa miettiessä
Huomasin mä siilin
Siltä apuu pyytäessä
Tein sen kanssa diilin

Olin vasta kai yhdeksän
Olin aika nuori
Halusin olla enemmän 
Niinkuin äitimuori

Jospa monen vuoden päästä
Rahoja mä käärin
Teen mä ennusteita säästä
Osa menee väärin 

Sairaan äijän kainalossa
On niin jännä haisu
Siinä on se paikka jossa
Tunnelma on vaisu

Kainalossa (Remix) - Jore w/Suno

Praise all my bones by flesh enclosed
Protecting brains and wiggling toes
I couldn't run or climb a tree
without my bones supporting me

I couldn't strum my old guitar
Or use my phone or drive a car
Without my bones what would I be?
A jellyfish out in the sea

Next time you have to use your thumb
Or bend your arm or chew your gum
Or shoot some pool or climb in bed
Remember what you'd be instead

Without Bones

Years ago, my brothers and I had spent several weeks getting my dad's house ready to sell after he had passed. I was in the realtor's office ready to sign the paper work when the prospective buyers asked why I wasn't buying the house I grew up in.  I said (not thinking) "Too many ghosts".  The realtor immediately jumped in and said, "he means memories" to which I smiled confirming the needed clarification:)  It does beg the question however, how many "ghosts" haunt our lives; bad decisions, fractured relationships, things we did or failed to do.  I have found hope and forgiveness in the Christian faith, others have found healing in the passing of time, others still carry a heavy burden of what could have been or should have been.  Peter explores the theme in poignant verse to Seagull's quixotic soundtrack.  I am honored to  contribute a few colors to the tapestry;)

Ghost of a Sense:

Yes, I know you.
I can feel your presence.
I can touch you, smell you.
I see you not by sight of eye
And yet I ken that you are I
That vespered wraith that writhes within
To test my faith, try my sin
Push the bounds to cause offence
A moral, soul thing, ghost of a sense recalls myself, so well defined
Entrenched, walls behind, built so sound of dust that crowned the pity, falling soft amiss,
Deep inside the tears I cry as here I find my self-abyss.

Whispers bringing shadows, filled of secrets therein held,
Memories, morose, piece me still, to wear in time, my wasted face.
And now reside, cast aside, to forge and ever meld,
Of haunting, ringing echoes, that will alone their chime erased.

Ah! But you won't twist me, nor bind me fast, to the sandy doctrines of the misty past,
With its beards and staffs and crinkled testaments.
My future's sprinkled here present with your crass irrelevance and matters not that sat right there,
The blackest chasm in my simpling world so spare,
Where space and time have overspilled the leaking psyche of a crippled mind,
That barely copes, unfulfilled, a crooked, limpid moral health of broken shrines
That hopes to find ....
.......some worthwhile inner self.

Ghost of a Sence (Seagull, Peter, David)

Jamming With The Cat, Mouse, Pikachu, And Elephant (multi-species open collab)

I enjoyed versions posted by @fingerstyle_guitar  of Besame Mucho so much I tried jamming along with my accordion to two of them.

The shift supervisor is still out and the night shift boys are not getting much work done as they play their accordions instead of greasing the machinery.  I hope their easy jobs are safe from any layoffs !

note:
I wanted an early 20th century factory kind of sound for this track.  I tried using an accordion bass but then I remembered Hank Tilbury' s ( @hanklebury ) recording of the real thing posted a while ago see:
https://soundcloud.com/hanklebury/steam-sketch        So I added it on - hope Hank doesn't mind.

I heard Hank Tillbury's track and thought I would jam along after breakfast this morning.

Banjo With Accordion After  Breakfast (collab with hanklebury)

from Alan:
I heard some of Greg Savin's tracks and thought it would be fun if he applied some of his modern audio processing techniques and added his "Uke Bass"  to an old klezmer tune played on my accordion.   Quite a change - and certainly more interesting than my rather plain starting track.   

Visit his cloud here:  https://soundcloud.com/g-c-ess

Accordion: Alan Ingall
Uke Bass,  Percussion, Audio processing: Greg Savin

from Greg:
Added "uke bass" (uke sampled and pitch-lowered). Part 2, an increased tempo chorus with some some percussion pattern added (just grabbed a drum kit in my DAW with a simple beat pattern).

Oy Tate (Collab with Greg Savin)

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.
