      Me also. I liked the commercial so much more than it made any sense to.
      I guess it was just an instinct for talent. Going to have to see this guy when he comes to Milwaukee

      @@user-sd6pp9lc4l It's hard to believe the impact of this bit. Also, it's unlikely that I will see him again...maybe at a funeral. His Dad (Al) may remember me, but I'm certain that Alex wouldn't. It's cool though that he's achieved this level of notoriety. Great for him.

    I became acquainted with Alex during an unsuccessful attempt to recruit his band to perform on RFD-TV's "The Big Joe Polka Show", way back in 2009. Alex, the "Jimi Hendrix of the Accordion" is not only a first-rate performer, he is one very nice person. Thanks for uploading this!

      +AMStationEngineer I got to know Alex about 12 years ago at a couple of consecutive accordion festivals in Cotati California... made a couple of videos with his music where he plays a trumpet... he is a wonderful person

    • @AMStationEngineer

      My first contact with Alex took place in 2009, in an attempt to book him for RFD-TV's "Big Joe Show", where I was an engineering consultant. I've viewed your videos on several occasions over the last couple of years, (neat videos by the way). They serve to support the fact that Alex has to be the most energetic and talented person in all of show business.
      Friends of mine own Stoudt's, Adamstown, where he entertains the "civilian troops" from all around. I'm told that he fills every hotel and motel within ten miles on the night of his show.

    Absolutely FANTASTIC He is definitely "one of a kind" a true musician. I observed those fingers of his, and they looked almost like they were made out of rubber, the way they were moving, when, i happened to notice while he was playing the "button box" his right thumb is positioned on the side of the keyboard ( which is normal ) .....BUT........i believe i also noticed his fingers are "double jointed" Gotta love this guy, he's wonderful.
