My Gosh, what memories! I grew up in Cleveland during the 1950s/60s, half the family was German, the other half Slovak. My childhood was spent listening to polkas, csardas, laendlern, schottichen, etc. Nothing calls itchy feet to the dancefloor like a good polka! Thanks for keeping this happiest of all arts alive! Bravo!
CANT GET ENOUGH OF ALEX. IM SO EXCITED ABOUT SEEING YOU AGAIN ON MAY 4TH IN COPLAY. HOT TIME IN THE OLE TOWN WHERE YOU GREW UP. I GREW UP PLAYING ACCORDION IN ROSETO NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM YOU. STARTED PLAYING WHEN I WAS 12. IM 82 NOW. JUST PLAY A FEW TUNES IN MY LIVING ROOM. SO I LOVE WATCHING YOU ON UTUBE. YOU REALLY CHEER ME UP. YOU ARE THE GREATEST AND PERSONALITY PLUS. THANKS ALEX. 😊
Beautiful. We used to have accordian jamborees here where I live and I always played guitar with the accordian players. Covid put an end to that and to this day they haven't started up. Boy I sure miss playing old time music.
@alexmeixner Saskatchewan I it's not been for 4 years. Your excellent on the button box. Mark Liek from Walter Ostenak and the Western Senator's was also good on the button box
This is awesome, reminds me of a song my grandpa used to play on his button box that I am now trying to learn. Is this a diatonic? I believe mine is either a 3 row diatonic or a Helikon, as it has 6 horns on the bass side with 8 buttons, one chord and one bass of which sounds the same on a push as a pull. I also have a Hohner one row diatonic that is pretty fun. Got a few jams I can do on that one. I saw your map in a previous video, there was only one pin in Montana, come make it a second one.
This is a diatonic 4 row button box- what is referred to as a Steirische style (Austrian- Slovenian) with gleich tones in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rows.

More! Buttonbox prevents moping.

I'm sitting here in my Molly B tee shirt really enjoying the Munda sound.
Alex, i sure would enjoy some more with Mollie and Ted.
How is such a deep bass coming out of such a little box?
The helikon reeds
Which model Munda are you playing? Details would be appreciated as I'm thinking of purchasing a Munda or a Rutar. Thanks
