Thanks Anthony,
and it is indeed fantastic playing, well worth the listen.
John Doonan's advice sounds like that of Karen Tweed (the accordian
player the rest try to copy).
Karen reckons that to play accordian well you listen to excellent
playing on flute, fiddle, almost anything other than box, and try to
incorporate their characteristic sounds into the accordian, rather than
just trying to play good accordian. In her case it's Irish style she
starts from, but it concurs with what you say here.
Best wishes,
Richard.
P.S. I'm getting duplicate NSP emails just now - is is something we all
get in turn on this list? (Whose turn next?)
