@@alexmeixner I've been playing CBA for 6 months. I long to play bass lines like you do. How can I start?

[@michaelesgro9506]

LOL. That's funny because I was actually thinking he's the Angus Young of accordion when I was watching this. I came her from the Hormel Pepperoni Ad, which in my opinion is legendary, just amazing, so catchy and energetic.

[@folkpolk]

Great respect for learning the Polish language. I am full of admiration.

[@alexmeixner]

Thanks-- Polish is one of the most difficult languages to sing... I only do very few songs as it's really challenging for me.

@@alexmeixner Ok, sounds cool!!!

[@monroemann]

Hormel Pepperoni! Great to see this other side of you Alex.

[@alexmeixner]

Thanks for checking out the band!

[@monroemann]

@@alexmeixner Thanks for making such great music. Hey, I do daily live streams. I have cool guests occasionally and would love to have you too. I could introduce you to some of my fans. You can even play some music live with your accordion. I just did a live concert myself of my original music, with about 500 views and 48 likes! So your music would fit right in. Let me know! I want everyone to know the Hormel Pepperoni one-man band, and the guy with the cool polka music. I’m sure you could inspire my viewers.

[@terrieholder4226]

I love to hear u talk about ur family and how u started so young to play along with ur dad on stage. I live in Bethlehem and raised my family in Whitehall which is close to Coplay. Do u think u will be returning to Coplay soon with ur band. It would be great to come see u in ur hometown. I would be there for sure. From Terrie in Bethlehem. There will be a parade and red carpet to welcome u. And lots of happy people

[@alexmeixner]

We don't have any performances scheduled in the Lehigh Valley soon-- but I look forward to hopefully being up there in the summer at some point!

[@southernmaid]

Love the bellow shake.

[@alexmeixner]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rudyharley7329]

Alex, the way you attack the accordion reminds me of a young Leo Kottke on the 12 string guitar VERY EXCITING. The midi bass is a genius idea.

[@alexmeixner]

Thanks!!! I'm trying to build my music up to entertain in as many ways as possible and make it musically interesting.

[@tomwolenski849]

Looks like you’re not at the Cleveland Oktoberfest this year.

[@alexmeixner]

A good announcement is coming soon ;)

[@RangerRon75]

when you play trumpet and accordion you remind me of the Chmielewskis Fun Time band of the 70s, 80s 90s,2000s in Northern MN!

[@alexmeixner]

Great memories of some good friends!!!

[@arikkthorn]

Kitchen sink is absolutely killer. I see why he’s called the Eddie Van Halen of the accordion🙌

[@alexmeixner]

Thanks!! I've got a lot of work to get up to that title though...

[@ryano.5149]

@@alexmeixner No no...that tracks! ...and I'm saying this as a guitarist who picked up the accordion later, this absolutely tracks! You make it look so dang effortless! (I'm a year late to this party, but I blame the darn algorithm for that!)
