Ain't too far off what would be going down at the SPJST Lodge (Czech Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas) on Saturday nights in the 1980s. Maybe still true in Nada.

The guy in the middle of this photo, Jerry Intihar, is a great friend of mine and one heck of a good accordion player. He has performed with Frankie Yankovic, Eddie & The Slovenes, and others as well as having his own bands.

Very cool!

So I'm playing all these posted Tex-mex/Tejano accordion videos and the wife is saying "Now I'm craving Mexican food. We're going to Mario's for dinner tonight" (our favorite Mexican restaurant). Fine by me, I'm craving it now too.

That's funny. I'm in Atlanta tonight and had a quesadilla for dinner! Love me some Mexican food...

Carmelo Pino is the best I've ever played with in the US.





Manny Bobenreith is the second best;

I'm brazilian, and in Brazil the accordion has a great role in the music of the Northeast and South of our country, and has influenced all the rest. We have great players and composers that use this instrument, many of them as their principal.

I'll show you some of them, starting with one that is between the greatest musicians and composers that has born in Brazil: Dominguinhos.

I suspect that it helps to be an old guy and, like me, to have played accordion as a kid. (Forty years on, my wife can't believe that I still have the accordion I had at 8 or 9 years old. We have photos! ...and the accordion!) It also helps to hear some seriously good music by many of those accordionists cited in this thread. David Hidalgo knocks me on my ass everytime he puts on that diatonic of his.

It's me Scots ancestry.

There's a castle in Scotland that still has my family name on it and can't name 3 accordionists. Lol

Hahaha, I used to be like that, until I did a motorcycle tour around the country.
