Not was the Accordionist famous so is the organist who was George Wright and guitarist Tony Mattola.

Fantastic arrangement, thank you for sharing!

Awesome! Does anyone know where I can buy the sheet music for this?

The two accordions sound great together!

I just purchased this accordion. It seems like a great instrument for many styles of music. Now I just need to practice a whole lot more to to be able to play as well as you do!

I took lessons from this guy.

If there were a Mount Rushmore for accordionists, he'd be on it!

I love it thank you

Why did they spend time filming the lady dancer. Much rather watch Magnante...won of the best accordionist ever

Very good it sounds so beautiful on the accordion

Wonderful performance! Just a joy to watch 💕

Thanks for update. Amazing to see how these young guys have changed over the years. Even more amazing is that they are still playing. Polka music has such lasting appeal!

I love the USA. Citizen since 2020. Appreciate this Mr. Henry.

Cool! Thanks for sharing. I could see and wife slowdancing to this. The register change at 2:00 superb.

This was one of several short films that were available in 1940s "jukebox" style film formats - they were called "Soundies." This example is the clearest, best-sounding Soundie I've ever seen. I once examined a catalog of these Magnante "Soundies" during my 35 year career as an archivist employed in the Motion Picture-Broadcasting-Recorded Sound Division, Library of Congress. I certainly hope everyone understands that Charles Magnante was the accordionist, not the Hammond organist - who was George Wright. Wright recorded several Wurlitzer theater organ recordings during the 1950s-1960s. Magnante was - most likely - the greatest virtuoso - ever on the piano [!] accordion. Began recordings ca. 1928 with a recording made on Edison's thick 1/4 inch Diamond Discs. Continued recording into the late 1960s. I worry about the large open reel tape library that Magnante had at his home in NY. Open reel is a non-perm. format only able to survive for approx. 30 years according to the company spokesmen willing to comment of the expected lifespan of the format.

Charles Magnante is my Grandfather. He asked me once what I wanted to when I grew up. I replied "I want to drive a Funny Car". He was puzzled and probably hoped I'd say "play the accordion like you". But I was 8 or 9 and had Mickey Thompson's blue 1970 Mach 1 flip top Funny Car on the brain! Grandfather was a wonderful man. I'm happy the world still appreciates his music.

Bravo. Thanks for sharing : )

Bravo : )

Wonderful

It is so good to hear a true master of the polka. Fabulous play, Henry!
