"Happiest Music On Accordion" (2011)

As I had been thinking about going back to my book (finish up printing) after fixing the size of the pages and any errors. Resizing each page took the notation down from 120% to 110% and adjusted the fingering and directions around that was throw off. That in it's self was a huge job.

Then it came time to play through the final pieces and make sure the pages numbers were correct. This is where is got really interesting. For some reason I thought that I didn't have to refer to a table on context. This was a big mistake, I wasted hours printing and reprinting thinking I could change this and that when I was wrong every time.

After getting the table of context corrected it was then easier to just follow along and plug in the correct page numbers. Duh. Finally when I was all ready to go I noticed several song were written wrong. So I took a few days patiently going though them until they were ALL corrected.

Then I went to print I spent $50 printing placing each page on the glass palette. Later I learned you can feed it all at once and program it what to do. The quality on this new machine was far better than the rest of the other xerox machines. No specks nice dark blacks and illustrations looked really sharp with the text.

Now I went to show Dave I found several mistakes on "Mr. Sandman". The reason being it was originally in the key of "D" but reworked it in "C". So some of it need to be fixed. This is after PRINTING IT TWICE. 10 books at a time.

So now, I am going through the book again rereading and checking for errors. Meanwhile a blank page in book prompted me to do a new illustration. I work on it all today you can see it on "Eric Stefani's Animation History and Research".

Micheal Aarons (Book #2)

Played these songs so many times I wonder if I can play the song by seeing the title and key the song is in. If not flip to the page by the page number , which you could memorize too!
