Thank you my friend... RIP dad

Musica Tejana!!! Bien, bien amigo!

Thank you for sharing this amazing set of melodies! Great stuff. Polkas are an important part of our norteño music culture, you probably know that. They are also very important in TexMex music.

Alex, I really have to say this is the finest button box video on KZread. A concise history of the Button box, plus some good entertainment! Great video

THanks for enjoying the music-- hope you and your son continue to make music together! Enjoy the holiday season and hope to see y'all when we get back north sometime next year!

U MUST HAVE THOUSANDS OF SONGS STORED IN YOUR BRAIN. EVERYTHING U PLAY IS MEMORIZED. NEVER SEE YOU LOOK AT A MUSIC SHEET. 🎶🎵 I AM TOTALLY ADDICTED TO UR MUSIC AND VIDEOS.

Sitting here in Schwabenland listening to this beautiful music...absolutely beautiful and educational! Thank you so much for posting this gem Alex. I've got a little Hohner Liliput that I am restoring while listening to this... Though a Club model, the music you and your Pop are playing is very motivational. I am ready to learn!

Thanks for the kind words-- I've been messing around with a little club accordion at home-- it's a unique challenge to adapt the different diatonic styles... Hope to hear your restored accordion! I love teaching and learning-- been doing a lot of that via zoom!

Len & I both enjoyed this. It was so informative and something I'll refer back to with my button box studies. A wonderful duo.

Interesting video Alex, a pleasure to watch. Given that your father pronounced some titles in Slovenian so well, what is your ancestry?

My father's family is full blooded Burgenlander Austrian. (My mother's family is full blooded Calabrese Italian). He studied all of the Slavic cultures deeply in his years in the Duquesne University Tamburitzans and was a stickler for correct pronunciation.

Hi Alex!! What is the original title of "the Mark polka" in Slovenian? Very nice video, greetings from Barcelona!!
