Nice playing! An accordion historian friend of mine told me something fun about this piece: "During WWII the Russians retreated from Finland leaving a bunch of mines set to go off by radio-control. When certain tones were played on a radio frequency, the mines would blow up. The Finns figured this out and broadcast a record of this song, blocking the the bomb's signal, for 3 months till the mine's batteries ran down. The song was very popular." The song's Wikipedia page has more details.
