The book contains samples of ethnic folk music from Europe and the Americas and forms the foundation of a basic folkAccordion repertoire. Access to online audio is also included.These songs are from many nations. They are crowd pleasers and they are fun to play. I have played most of these songs in the various bands Ihave played with over the years. These melodies have stood the test of time so what are you waiting for? Open the book get your accordion out and let's play some music!One word about these songs: I generallylearn a song and then play it by heart-by memory as opposed to playing it by reading from a sheet of music. I believe this allows for more personal expression and interpretation which can be affected by audience response or theway I feel at the time. You'll notice that on most of the performances on the audio download available online I didn't play repeats. Because of the limited time available on a disc we found we couldn't fit all the tunes if weplayed them as written. - Bruce Bollerud

The 24 grooves totalling over 200 riffs/phrases and play-a-long tracks consists of a variety of tempos and keys. Each groove has a variety of riffs to learn that are generally 4 or 8 measures in length. It would be beneficial if you could memorize these riffs so that you can experiment using different permutations of the riffs as well as being used as a starting off point for one's own improvisations. Each riff has been recorded with a rhythm track with each style having an extended play-a-long track, around 3 minutes in length, recorded without the solo part so you can practice the riffs that you have learned. Also, these musical phrases or riffs may be interchanged from one groove to another and should be learned in as many keys as possible.
