HAPPY FARMER

You better know your arpeggios before attempting this song. Especially in the left hand. It's the "octave" in "F" but fooling you by reversing the basses and starting on "C"!! Due Sunday 4-31-2011 unless that's the 1st!

"Waltz" Brahms

This song is great. I learned it one week and have not practiced it for awhile but still can play it. Surprising.

Learn This Boogie!

05 Captain/Jump’s Ship/Paradise Island

"Captain" had a third verse cut and then added on old song to it called "Sail My Boat" which the title was changed. The first title was to follow the story of Mutiny, the second idea was deserting his ship and going to a "Desert Island" then "Paradise Island".

08 Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining*

New words to the song.

07 Zap!*

Title was shortened

Good songs were found and added to "On Time" (2011)

"Work Smart" from the Album "On Time" (2011)

This song "Work Smart" (mp3) was recorded in 2009. It was lost and then found it on another computer. It is much better than a few tracks on the album so, "March of History" or "After Your Gone" are cut and replaced with this one.

Searched the records for handwritten notation and found it in a book from 2006. After reading though it and made corrections (2am), typed into PRINT MUSIC (9am) and got it straightened out so someone could read through it. There are several chords and the melody falls on them in a particular way. (1:26)

Written for piano but it's just as easy on accordion. Spent a considerate amount of time on the fingering to help you get to the right notes easily. Thinking now this idea may go back as far as 1999. Anyhow if it lasted all these years there's got to be something special about it.

You should not see the capitol letter "I" ANYWHERE in the above paragraph.

Major & Minor Scale for Accordion

Remember when using BLOGGER
You gotta choose page (2) first before importing page (1). Work backwards if you want the top page to be the first page you read!

What I learned about making "Happiest Music On Earth" (2011)

Remember when using HEAVY DUTY XEROX MACHINE

Xerox pages different xerox machines have different configurations. Meaning you got to have the pages feed in upside down, facing down, if you want want it to come out correctly. Although if you use the scan mode to make a book you simply scan ALL PAGES (8.5 x 11) in, under the set up of putting them all in a folding book (11 x 17). HUGE TIME SAVOR!

The End - Mountain Top

Here are two songs I finally go typed up in music notation. This stuff gets easier the more you do it. I found just get 8 bars done and then the next 8. And put it all together later.

I find this is plenty to keep you busy. See there is already a typo in bar 4 of Mountain Top!

Gb not Ab...This has been revised.

Spanish Flea (for Accordion)

This was one of my favorite songs as a kid, I can not wait to learn it!
