I played a polka for 15 minutes. This is what happened

Thank you Ronen. I had a great time playing with you and really experienced and shared the joy with you and our audience. What a great masterclass it was to feel connected with another player and resonate with others. Highlight of my weekend!

Great playing!! I go out and play accordion for busking, and I find that people feel it to be a much more approachable instrument. By the way, nice Lederhosen!!!

[@moshezuchter]

Thanks!! Accordion buskers are the best types of buskers 😄♥️

[@Alpvagabund]

@@moshezuchter I’d have to agree😂😂🪗🪗

[@patwalworth207]

I wish I had been there! Your style of playing is what the accordion is about!

[@rebeccadudley7669]

"I never play the same piece the same way twice." Ronan! This is why I like you! I grew up playing piano, same as you, but lost interest when my parents and my teacher wanted me to start competing. All the fun went away. I cannot do and will not do the "technical" thing .There is a place for it, but is not the reason for playing. I love your approach and I love your style. Means the world to me you are here doing "you."

Thanks Rebecca!

So so so much fun! Special thanks to Ted for saying "YES!" and performing together with 10 minutes of prep-time :) Bergvagabunden Polka: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rorgl... Beer Barrel Polka: www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2zeE... Seth Godin's Podcast Episode (15:33 into the episode): bit.ly/3OzCwhR

Thank you so very much for sharing the joy you felt through performing! I felt like I was right there experiencing your wonderful emotional experience through your expressive narration. 👏👏👏

I saw your second performance, you have an amazing stage appeal/showmanship. I know the audience and I really enjoyed your playing! So nice to see you in real life. I’m working on a place to preform with my accordion, maybe a little beginner old time music, bluegrass ish. Thanks, Mike t.

[@moshezuchter]

My old Guitar Teacher said one or twice Don't be over technical with your music will become cold and people will pick on that. He quoted Bruce Lee saying from Enter the Dragon'' A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit. It hits all by itself. (to his teacher) What was that? An exhibition? We need emotional content. Now try again! (to his student Lahn) I said emotional content. Not anger! Now try again! With me! (to his student Lahn) Don't think, feel! It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory. Do you understand? (to his student Lahn). Never take your eyes off your opponent, even when you bow. (to his student Lahn). My style? You can call it "the art of fighting without fighting". My old Guitar Teacher said you can apply Bruce Lee quotes to any Art. Roman I really dig how you put your heart, soul & spirit into your music and make it come alive. You , Alex Meixner & David Grisman Mandolin player ( dawg music ) really get into the music. Unlike these Irish Button Box Accordion players they're stiff as a board only thing is moving is their fingers & keeping time with their feet. David Grisman Dawg Music Blow my mind I saw him 4 times . It's get's pretty boarding play tunes one way for yrs without embellishments ''Thanks for sharing Ronan.

[@moshezuchter]

Wow wow. That Bruce Lee quote is spot on. Thanks for the comment and for the enlightenment!

Cool i do play accordion diatonic when i got to farmer market to sell my ceramics, and people always come to me and love it. But sometime they ask me what kind instrument it is. This is kind of weird who doesnt know what an accordion looks like. I am like you i cant play the same piece exactly the same way

[@damerkman]
