How others do it!🤫

It's always interesting to see how others do it!
(The hat thing seem to be a constant!)

YouTube led me to this video by the same guy, hooking up his MIDI output to a fairground organ...

I don't busk, so respect to the guy there... but his playing gave me a headache... sorry.

Have to agree with you. Hats off (please!) to him for getting out there and doing it, but wow, this is the stuff that confirms the public's bias about what an accordion sounds like and why it should be banished to the realms of the bagpipes and banjos.

Very much agree Thom

When I was a kid back in the 1970s my dad used to go to a trade-only store one Sunday each month (Makro - they're still going and all over the world), they had a restaurant upstairs and sometimes my dad would buy us lunch. There was always a guy playing electric organ - the type in a wooden case with two manuals, built-in drum accompaniment. The sort of accordion music above always reminds me of that guy.

Yup pretty much the same”credit for doing it” department. I suppose someone could comment on his YouTube page, “Dude, slow down, listen to yourself, put in some soul and emotion, you’ll get better tips.” But I don’t know if it would help, maybe he likes this style.
