Someone requested Accordion music.
Just kidding. Nobody requested Accordian music, but I'm going to post some anyway.
Squeeze Play: A World Accordion Anthology
This one is a really nice Old School Compilation (20's through the 50's) of Accordion music from all over the world.
AMG says,
"Archivist Dick Spottswood (Escape Goat note: Dick Spottswood sounds suspiciously like a porn name, but he did a great job just the same.) does his usually excellent job unearthing vintage world music nuggets on this collection of accordion tunes from around the world. Highlights include a couple of klezmer pieces from 1920, two plaintive Romanian tunes from 1927, San Antonio's Trio Huracan on 1938's "Corrido de los Caminoeros" (Song of the Bus Drivers), and the legendary conjunto star Santiago Jimenez, Sr. doing the lively polka "La Piedrera." Spottswood also lincludes tracks that, in effect, downplay the accordion, such as a Polish goralski highlander ensemble recording of "Kumotersko," where accordionist Joe Pat is just audible under violins and string bass, and Joseph Dingaan's "Nonyembezi," a South African piece from 1954 which features a harmonica playing in accordion style. You'll also find rare Acadian French and Scottish sessions on this wonderful collection."

I like accordian music. I am happy that you posted some.
Well if you're happy, I'm happy. I'll post some more soon. I have quite a bit of it.
hey escape goat,
nice to see here an accordeon album. I like accordeon music very much. In my hometown there is a 14 members (all aged over 65!) acc.-orchestra and when the're playing that's a sound-hell! in summertime they'll play many open air concerts in this area. juhu! and thinking of the great cayun music from the deep south of America!
now I'll try this!
cheers
Why thank you Mr. Pony.
The area where I live was settled by many Czechs. Several of the little towns still have their own Polka Bands. Come back soon. I'll put something up for you.
