ThANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT MEDLEY OF OCTOBERFEST SONGS. HAVE TO CHOOSE ABOUT 4 FAVORITE TO PLAY ON CHANNEL 39 OCTOBER 2ND FOR MONDAY MUSIC. IM SO NERVOUS AND EXCITED TO BE ON TV. NEVER BEEN ON TV. HARD TO DECIDE THE GOOD ONES CAUSE THHE ONES YOU PLAYED ARE ALL GREAT. L9VE TO PLAY ALL OF THEM. LOL FROM TERRIE IN BETHLEHEM. DATED SEPT 6TH. 2023.
THANKS FOR REMEMBERING THE THRILL I HAD WHEN YOU PLAYED THERESA POLKA FOR ME AND THAN PLAYING A FEW POLKAS ON STAGE AT HOTEL BETHLEHEM CHRISTMAS PARTY. I WAS ON CLOUD 9 AND. 10. WHAT A FUN TIME. NOW IM 81 AND CANT PLAY THE ACCORDION LIKE I USED TO. HAVE A LOT OF ARTHRITIS IN HANDS AND WRISTS. NOW I JUST LISTEN TO UR VIDEOS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. YOU ARE A GOOD KIND TALENTED PERSON. LOL. 🙌😀👏💞🎵🎶🎹
I approach the left hand of the accordion first from the perspective of a bass player- playing an accompaniment role to the lead and harmony on the right hand. Technique is developed through just wanting to play musically correct bass lines :)
I PLAY THE "HAPPY WANDERER" FOR ALL MY SHOWS AND NEVER KNEW IT WAS A TOP OCTOBERFEST MELODY. THANKS FOR THIS WANDERBAR SELECTION OF SONGS 🎵 🙌 👏 FOR OCTOBERFEST CELEBRATIONS. YOU ARE GREAT TEACHER AND ACCORDIONIST. THE BEST EVER. I COULD LISTEN TO YOU ALLLLLLL DAY. LOL FROM TERRIE IN BETHLEHEM.
Ausgezeichnet! I live in New Braunfels TX- a town with lots of German roots-- I travel all around the states with my band and solo for parties big and small!
I loved seeing u for years at Stoudts Oktoberfest in Adamstown Pa u always drew a great crowd I wish Sierra Madre had been part of this video still enjoyed tho 🙋🏼♀️❤️
I sure miss playing there! We had a lot of good memories. Make sure you jump on our mailing list at www.alexmeixner.com for when we'll be back in eastern PA in the spring. I'll have to get a video of Sierra Madre up soon.
@@alexmeixner oh my gosh thanks so much for responding Alex now I live in NC but I really miss Adamstown n would appreciate an upload of Sierra Madre I’ve watched all the videos of different ones singing it on utube God Bless u Alex n ur family a Very Happy Yew Year to u Luv Pam from Stoudts 🙋🏼♀️❤️
Alex Great ! Accordion Playing, but in German there is an old saying "Wer Drei Sagt Muss Bezalen". In Germany it is Einz,Zwei, G'suffer. No Drei after Prosit. Think of song In Munchen Steht, it is Einz, Zwei, G'Suffer. Love your stuff anyway !
That's some interesting stuff-- I haven't had that comment-- but the observation makes sense in reference to In Munchen Steht ein Hofbrauhaus... I'll have to check it out more-- though it has obviously been pretty standardized in American German Oktoberfests... thanks for enjoying the music!
I don't have sheet music for all of these available at this time-- but I'm working on a project for my students after I complete my Oktoberfest tours...hit me up via email alex@alexmeixner.com
GREAT MEDLEY FOR OCTOBERFEST AND FOR ANY OCCASION TO SING A LONG. SUCH CHEERFUL AND HAPPY MUSIC. MAKES ME WANT TO EITHER DANCE OR PLAY ALONG WITH YOU. MY BUCKET LIST TO GET A CHANCE TO PLAY ALONG WITH U AND MAYBE FIDDLE PADDY. WANDERBAR. FROM TERRIE IN BETHLEHEM. LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU. 😅👍🎵🍺🎹
YES YES YES. YOU PLAYED THE THERESA POLKA FOR ME THAN I GOT ON STAGE TO PLAY A FEW POLKAS WITH U AND UR BAND. WHAT A THRILL FOR ME. THANKS FOR REMEMBERING. 😀🎵🙌

Toll, Bruder! I paused it to go grab a Paulaner Oktoberfest from the fridge. Prost! See you at the Reading Liederkranz!
Danke! Looking forward to tipping a few back at the Liederkranz!
We moved to East Tennessee…not a polka hotbed. I am sad! Love hearing these tunes! Prost 🍻
I get to Nashville every once in awhile-- keep an eye on www.alexmeixner.com for the tour schedule...
Move back!
Brings back memories of when I played drums with Matt Cernick and the Happy Wanderers 35 years ago. Love em. Thanks.
Wow-- that's a name I haven't heard in decades. He recorded an album at my dad's studio when I was a little kid...
My goal is to someday do all of this on my button accordion. So good!
sehr schön gespielt,tolle spielweise,gefällt mir sehr gut.LG:mario
Vielen dank

If I ever need to emulate an accordion in my digital audio workstation, this is the video to study. The voicings, riffs, and fills are great!
