Button Box Medley - Alex Meixner on Munda Diatonic Accordion

[@jeanettekorzenko4958]

That wasn't just a little medley...that was an awesome 20 minutes of polka happiness!

[@MatthewBarelick]

That's a world class button box! Love that strong helikon bass sound!

[@erharddinges8855]

Even the dog must stand up hearing this amazing presentation!

[@thumbstruck]

It's a comfort to know that I have brats and beer in the fridge~ great stuff!

[@chrisconcertina3501]

I couldn’t stop listening to that first tune you made, it’s such a feel good demeanor you have that made me pick up my accordion and play along on the bass buttons. Nothing can beat a good old polka. This gives me inspiration to make some polkas of my own!

[@alexmeixner]

THanks for enjoying and playing along! Just trying to spread good vibes!! Hope to hear some your polkas!

[@brandongregory4338]

[@redwolf7929]

It reminds me of one of those old merry go rounds they have at a country show

[@LisaGerdes-j6e]

Alex, Don't know why this particular video triggered this memory.. Do you remember an elderly lady at Ironworld that would come up to the stage and play her spoons while you and your dad played???

[@alexmeixner]

Yup-- I think her name was Violet!

Wow! Hope you had a few polka pils after that workout 👍. Good sounds 🍻

[@alexmeixner]

I wish!! I'm all out here in Florida!! Can't wait to get back to Texas to replenish the supply!!! :)

[@MrFlames01]

Great stuff, man. Just, where are you from and where does this music come from? It sounds pretty much like the norteño music we have here but I did not recognize any of the tunes, so I suppose that music must come from some European contry. Poland maybe? Thanks for sharing!

[@alexmeixner]

These are tunes that are Slovenian in origin (with Austrian influence as well) in the style that was developed by the immigrants in the Cleveland area in the 1920s and forward.

[@208236]

Hello!I heard your Button Box playing for the first time.Very nice and I love you at first sight.I especially like the 12:27 song. What is the title of this song?I love playing your Button Box.Also, the shooting of your video cameraman is very good.Greetings from Japan.★★★★★ Daisuke

[@alexmeixner]

Thank you for enjoying the music and the video. The song you asked about is Little Peoples' Polka (recorded by Markic and Zagger on their Penn Ohio Polkas Unite album)-- but originally composed by Lojze Slak as Gremo Na Dolenjske (i think that's the right spelling of the title).. Hope you enjoy the other videos and can also enjoy and support www.patreon.com/alexmeixner
