Can you advise where to get books of Frankie Yankovic tunes? I have not been able to find any!

I have all 4 Volumes. I can scan them and send them to you.

I have all 4 Volumes. I can scan them and send them to you.

Actually, there were (at least) 12 volumes.

I think 15 volumes in total.

 

[John M]

I wasn't aware of the 15 volumes. I know volumes 1-4 were popular with #4 being the most popular. I also have an older Solvenian "Waltzes and Polkas for Accordion" arranged by Joe Trolli featuring Frank Yankovic and his "Yanks"

Oktoberfest is about party music. Schlager and several Polka/waltz music are included.

lol… “Anton Aus Tirol” is so funny. It’s about this strong handsome guy from Tirol, sung by a chubby bald not-so-good-looking German guy that even (badly) raps a little in it.

And yet, I have to toe tap when I hear it… haha!

Nah this is definitely not an accordion tune, you need a rhythm section and singers to rock this song.

Oh, don't call DJ Ötzi a German Jerry.
You know how it is: calling a Tyrolian guy a German may cause some irritation (especially in Bavaria)

 

[JerryPH]

Oh...yes, sorry!!!

Accordion-scores.com has ‘Slovenian Valses et Polkas (Volumes 2 et 4)’ and ‘yankovic_15_easy_waltzes_and_polkas__1_’, that’s all I’ve found so far. Best of luck!

According to Google Translate, "moja dekle" means "my girlfriend".

And hey, while we're on the subject of Slovenian accordion music, you can't go wrong with pretty much anything by Slavko Avsenik. Okay, so he's not German, but he was/is pretty popular over there--a lot of his tunes are possibly better known by their translated German titles ("Trompetenecho", "Auf der Autobahn", etc.)

Thanks Jeff, there are currently a few Slavko Avsenik scores on accordion-scores.com, trompetenecho and aus der autobahn are two of them.
