    Dale, your music embodies the old standard song title, "A Cheerful Little Ear Full." Thanks for the lift, which
    is particularly welcomed in the times we live. Bless you, those you love, and those who share your music. DJ in Knoxville TN

    When my husband was alive we were attending accordion festival in Cotati every year. It was so much fun. This reminded me of those wonderful times which I miss so much.
    I have been sad, being alone now and because of everything going on in the world and listening to this music brought a smile to my face. How I want to go back in time and dance
    chicken dance with my husband again. Thank you.

    I'm just in love with these sounds and the accordeon. Unfortunately as a child my parents couldn't afford to send me to private classes for accordeon lessons, but only 6 months. Now, at my 68 years of age, and having been diagnosed with the Parkinson's disease, the physician told me to take up something that I love most, I'm taking accordeon lessons and I feel sooooo happy. Greetings from Greece and thank you for the joy you are giving me every day, listening to this happy songs.

    I am 81 and still have and play the accordion I got when I was 8yo. Your music is wonderful. I have had so much fun playing your video and playing along. I love the electronic accordion sounds, but am too low income to afford one. I just love playing along and remembering all the wonderful times my late husband and I had when we visited his parents. His mom had and played almost every instrument and had a senior band that played at local senior events. I got to participate when we went along. I play piano as well Music has always been in my soul. Thank you for bringing fond memories back to me.

    I guess that I was the odd duckling when I turned up the pokes or mentioned that a good pika would be great. Oh the room would make fun of me for listening to such music. I defended myself by saying that this music much happier than the crap they were listening to. Pokes and “clown music “ I really enjoy. Keep it up!
