My father was the most respected and gracious musicians of all time. I miss him so profoundly. I am so incredibly blessed to be able to listen to these recordings. He was brilliant and will never be forgotten. I love you Dad.
Hi Venetia. I met your father just once at the Alabama Accordion Association in 2009 where he played for us. My takeaway was that not only was he an incredible accordionist but also the nicest person you would ever want to meet. I was very sad to hear of his passing. And yes, we are all blessed to have these recordings and I listen to them often.
Yerlan Berdikulov Again, do not try to be smart or funny or whatever, because you just failed. You'll remain stupid, you can not change that, it's too late. You've just proven that. Bye.
Yerlan Berdikulov Not at all, it is ok that you don't like accordion. The thing that make me think you're stupid is that you had to spit on that instrument and tell the world how it makes all music sound bad. Like that should be true. And there are studies which can prove that accordion is the most perfect acoustic instrument by it's tehnical and sound abilities. That is all.
Too bad a) Frank is no longer with us, and b) more people should listen to this genre on the piano accordion and quit thinking we are only capable of playing polkas and 3/4 time cornball waltzes from two centuries ago......
+Mike DiVincenzo ...are there any other accordion players? he's the only one i really like...i search the youtube and i can't find any accordion player that i like, other than frank marocco...i also like some free bass accordion stuff when it's together with clarinet etc, but solo accordion...only frank marocco...there must be someone else, who?
sexypoetry Larry Goldings is great on accordion, but he mostly records piano and Hammond B-3. He also has a comedic persona that he calls “Hans Groiner”. Check out both :) Also Jeff Taylor who lives in Nashville can play all styles with great fluidity! Harder to find Jeff Taylor videos but they are out there and he has a RU-vid channel now. One of his passions is Celtic music, but like I said he does it all!
What an amazing and lovely performance of this old classic, by the masterfull and generous Frank Marocco. He will be missed by so many. But he lives on in our hearts, and his unique music will still be cherished by all those who were lucky enough to cross his path. God bless his memory
