Late Night Accordion Musings (Chauncey Canfield)
United States
Приєднався 17 лип 2021
I'm Chauncey Canfield and I started this channel to capture my late evenings: primarily unedited playing on various #accordions, #melodeons, performing lots of freeform improvised stuff and covering songs I love from all eras.
#instrumental #cover #cottagecore #bardcore #solo #acoustic #unplugged. I perform a weekly improv set every week with the "Will It Folk?" (or "Will it Box?") theme and nothing is really off limits.

These are all my "arrangements" (spontaneous improvised versions that change ever time) I get requests for written down versions, but they don't exist. This channel started as a way to 1) observe my playing so I could 2) track my progress and improvement while self-teaching myself a new instrument in 2021, so I was doing a lot of "warts and all" livestreams.

The Jackson 5 "I Want You Back" (1969) acoustic instrumental
Eerie coincidence on this one. I had been working on this classic song from the Jackson 5 from my list of "to-do's" a couple weeks back. I had tried it a couple times earlier in the week, but was finally happy with this one I did Sunday night, only to find out the next day that Tito Jackson had passed away that very same evening I was recording. Rest in peace, sir.

"Nights on Broadway" by the Bee Gees from the "Main Course" album released in 1975. I am kind of obsessed with early to mid 1970's music right now. They were incredible songwriters and very gifted singers. #beegees #thebeegees #brothersgibb #thebrothersgibb This is my own improvised reduction/ arrangement performed by me (Chauncey Canfield).

Thanks a lot!
Very well played and great sound my friend!!🎹Subscribed, Keep it up!
Thanks for the sub!
An all-time classic!
Indeed!! Love me some Billy Bragg!
This is dope, keep it up
Thank you so much!!
So you have some pdf notes for it?😅
Sorry I just make these arrangements up on the fly (and don’t play them the same way twice) so nothing written down.
@@ADudeAndHisBox then you got very-very skilled in this:)
Have you given any thought to playing any Abba?
I have played a number of their songs but haven’t recorded any. Any faves/requests?
@@ADudeAndHisBox Ugh,that is a tough one. I need to ponder that idea for a while.
@@ADudeAndHisBox I got one, the first song from Mama Mia, “I Had a Dream”. It is kinda of dreamy…
Just listened to a recording of The Bee Gees singing “Nights on Broadway”. You did an amazing interpretation of it with your accordion. What a feat. The song structure and multiple sounds is pretty dynamic and complex. Well done!
Wow, thank you, Guy!
Honestly this sounds like a Legend Of Zelda song ⚛️
Radiohead transposes so nicely to the accordion. 😊 well done as always
very good!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is genuinely incredible!
Thank you so much!! You are too kind!
@@ADudeAndHisBox Tbh this song holds a very special place in my heart; it’s a sort-of comfort song for me. You really did it justice, and I’m not just being kind when I say you have honestly earned that praise. 🫶🏻
Brilliant cover version.
Glad you enjoyed it!!! cheers!
Instant subscribe lol
Hearing Cocteau Twins For a moment Makes me feel glad to be alive
Their music sounds so timeless! Thanks for listening!!
I will pay you cold cash to cover this entire album. This is not a joke
Tempting!! I’m not sure I could focus my scattered attention that long (as you can see by my freakishly eclectic output. Thanks for listening!
Nice find!
Thanks!
Hi Chauncey, Nice tune and playing. I will be getting a smaller piano accordion later this week which weighs 17 pounds and hopefully I will more likely be able to more like your style with the help of a back strap. Hoping all is well out there for you and your family around the Oregon Trail!
Thanks, Guy!! Have fun with the new box!
Strange tune to cover ....works thou
Thank you!! I’m game to try just about anything if I like the song. Getting some great requests from subscribers to work on as well.
I would be hard-pressed to identify the song based on your playing, but I salute your efforts and song choice.
Thank you!! My only criterion is that I play tunes I like, accepting that the deeper cuts are going to be hyper niche within a nonexistent niche. This was my first freestyled attempt at this one, will probably work out a better arrangement at some point. Cheers!!
Could you do the anchor song?
I've posted a couple other Bjork tunes but not that one (yet) -- might be a good one for future!
Awesome, sir.. well played.... 👏 👏
Thank you!! I’m due to post some more Beck
French fool
This is my favorite song!!
I hope I did it justice, then!!
This one is great. Full of slightly melancholic joy, twinged with hope. Another winning choice!
Thank you so much!! One of my all time favorites by the Groop!
beautiful song
One of their best tunes. Thanks for listening!
I appreciate this
sounds good, you captured an aspect of that song have you done candy says? nice job fellow velvet folkie
Thanks!! Haven’t done it yet but adding it to the list as it is a great suggestion!!! Should work really well on the box!
can you do brakhage?
Haven’t done it before but am adding it to the list-Great suggestion!! I will give it a go and mention you when I post it.
@@ADudeAndHisBox me too please
@@ADudeAndHisBox thanks
Really nice job. Lou would hate it, but that's just the way he was.
Thanks!!! 😆You are probably spot on about Lou!
Beautifully played
Thank you very much!
Capo gracias!!!
Thank you so much!!
Excellent. Try motion picture soundtrack!
Awesome
Brilliant
omg! thanks.
Thanks!! Glad you liked it!
nine inch nails and johhny cash in one?? perfection
Johnny’s version is haunting and stunningly beautiful. I tried to capture a fraction of that.
So good! Man, you are killing all these songs.
Appreciate the love!! Cheers!
Somehow, someway, strangely, I like this.
Thanks! It feels so wrong but it works, somehow.
poo
Poo?
I'm glad this came up on my scroll time
Thanks!! The algorithm works in strange ways! Glad it found its way to you.
Lovely
Thanks!
