"Sunshine" - A Tune Written by Gregory Jolivet
Lovely! I just found an old Koch myself and hope to get her sounding and playing as lovely as yours.
Thank you for the nice comment. Good luck getting your melodeon fettled. Mine had already been restored when I bought it.
So much fun! I can't tell how the left hand is working those chord keys. This artiste is too quick!
Thank you for the comment. I pretty much only use a 2 finger LH method so it's not too complicated.
Rollicking! The guitar really adds to these tunes.
Thank you. Glad you like the guitar backing. 😊
Very nice.
Thank you. 😊
Lovely!
Thank you. 🙂
Lovely as always!!!
Most kind. Thank you. :-)
Ok, I give in, what chords are you using I have spotted C,G,Em,Bm,D possibly D7 plus couple I have missed. Love the song.
You'll find 'em in my reply to a previous comment below. Cheers.
Not heard these before - nice tunes.
Beautiful - love it! ❤
Thank you. 🙂
Hard to go wrong with a Playford tune. Have you tried Dover Pier ? It's another of Playford's which sounds really nice with a bit quicker tempo than the original.
Thank you Nola. I don't know Dover Pier - I'll check it out.
Tes beau reel a ecouter
Never heard either of these versions before. Fantastic!
Music variant 12 of this song.
Feel like i am in a different world with this type of music. Love it
A fine tune well played. Another one for the 'To Do' list; thanks for posting.
Muy bueno si señor
Beautiful! Listening to it on repeat now.
Thank you for the lovely comment!
Beautiful. 👍👍❤❤
Magnificent!! Thanks! 🙂😎
Lovely - this has been one of my favourite tunes for several years - it's The Louis Waltz by Andy DeJarlis from Manitoba.
Thank you for the info Anahata - I've edited the title accordingly.
Inspiring thank you! Off to dust off the melodeon.
This is a wonderful song, and to me it sound really, really, great on an instrument like this. I wonder if that has to do with one of my favourite Christmas movies being the 1984 adaptation of A Christmas Carol starring George C. Scott ?
Cute transfer of the melody to the left hand.
Geil!
Ace, love the bounce you put into jigs
So cheerful! Just what I needed today. 😄
Lovely playing deserving of a much better (more responsive) instrument!
Hi Paul. Thank you for the compliment on my playing. I think it's the recording rather than the box. I was probably too near the mic and the tune isn't a 'keeper' for me so I wasn't tempted to re-record it.
@@McgroogerFair point! Mics are a player's worst enemy at times...
Excellent bellows pulse!
Thank you.
Great stuff! Thanks! 😎
Thank you! :-)
Great playing. It really rolls along.
Thank you Eggz! 😊

Thank you. 🙂
Hello Mcgrooger. I would like your kind permission to play your recording at our local armature Dram (old folks having fun) panto please? I don't know how else to contact you other than in messages on here. Hope your loving life. kindest Mervyn.
Hi Mervyn. I'm happy for you to use it - good of you to ask as I'd be completely unaware even if you hadn't.
Mooi stukje muziek ik mag het graag horen.
Dank u wel! 🙂(That's pretty much all the Dutch I know!)
Would be nicer if you didn’t smash the base buttons.
Another one to learn! You're a very persuasive source of new tunes. Subscribed now so I don't miss any!
Thank you Anahata - you're most kind!
Well done!
Thank you! :-)
Well done, that’s lovely playing.
Cheers mate! :-)
Nicely done. Thanks for posting.
Great playing!
Lovely playing.
Thank you Eggz! Most kind (as always). ;-)
Is this the same tune that Dave Swarbrick used to sing?
'Fraid I don't know - it's not where I learned it from (plus I may have misremembered it too).
I think it is, although rendered very differently. I must say that if they are the same tune, I prefer this version.
👍👍❤❤Well played, beautiful chords, BRAVO !
Thank you so much - how kind! :-)
Love the sound of your instrument mate. I know this tune as "the Girl I Left Behind Me", but really love the more traditional versions like yours that I've heard. Cheers, from Glasgow, KY.
Delightful rolling tune, very expertly played (as usual) on a lovely old Hohner.
You're very kind (as always). I struggled with this one ! Thank you though.
My son loves these. Thanks!
Loved it! I love the tune but your playing only made it better. Thank you!
How kind. Thank you! :-)
Thank you - that was lovely! Pretty nifty playing :)
Thank you - most kind. 😊
This makes me happy...
I'm so glad. Thank you! :-)
