tv themes are FUN, guys
Dec. 6th, 2023 12:01 pmI'm finding it interesting getting to know other accordion players, and seeing how I differ from them. Not in terms of being better, or worse, but just… interested in playing very different stuff.
I'm coming to the conclusion that most accordion players hear traditional accordion music (e.g. Balkan folk music), think "yeah, I'd like to play that", and buy an accordion.
Whereas I happened to have an accordion, and decided to try playing any random crap I thought of.
Which, in practice, means that I go along to accordion events, and they're all working on Balkan folk music, or German folk music, or French cafe music, or Italian dance styles, or Irish music… and meanwhile, I'm there in the corner playing the Inspector Gadget theme song.
