Hello!
Thank you for accepting me to this group.
My name is Marc and I come from Montréal, Canada. I started diatonic accordion more than 35 years ago playing Québécois traditional music, and started piano accordion 7 years ago trying more Québécois and other songs as well. I can read music but mostly play by ear.
This forum is so helpful for explanations about left hand playing and how to perform repairs.
I hope to be able to contribute.

HI Marc! I am new to this site too, and I am a fan of the traditional music of Quebec. Such joyful energy! I am surprised at the diverse nations that have contributed to this music. Learning these tunes and the background has made my world larger and richer.

Hi Zvon! I can see the passion when I read the posts.

there is an accordion festival outside of Quebec every year. I think it might have been last week. Lots of great quebecois accordion playing to be found there.

Bienvenue, Marc! Nous avons joue "Le Rapide du Joual Blanc" et deux autres reels du disc "La Galvaude" dans mon groupe ecossais il y a deux ans. Quelle musique exceptionelle!

Welcome, Marc! We played "Le Rapide du Joual Blanc" and two other reels from the disc "La Galvaude" in my Scottish band two years ago. What exceptional music!

Why the Franglais?.
I understood this is an English speaking Forum and Marc writes perfect English ( for a Canadian ).
Welcome Marc, bye the way

The post was not "Franglais," it was French. For fun, to playfully welcome a Quebecois. There's no need to fuss, scold and reprove.
