    Wow such a beautiful demonstration from an incredibly talented accordionist😍🥰👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful presentation. My dad learned to play the accordion aged 7 and played it throughout his life both privately to entertain friends and in concert with the Jacklyn Frets Orchestra based in Crewe Cheshire. Sadly he passed away last year aged 82 and every time I hear the accordion being played, I feel him in my heart. He would have loved this and I’m so delighted that there are so many other talented accordionists out there both young and old who are continuing to share the beauty and magic of this wonderful instrument. Thank You 🙏🏽 🪗💯⭐️✨🌈💫

    I feel so moved after hearing the final piece! The accordion is so evocative to me of the past, kinda like seeing black and white film. But hearing the tone of the instrument combined with a composition that has, what I would consider a somewhat pop-y feel, the past and the present were combined into one. Bravo!
