Myron Floren: Carnival of Venice Variations, 1992

Myron Floren (1919-2005) a Norwegian, spent his lifetime promoting the accordion in America on TV, recordings and festhalls. He was a happy energetic showman. I caught him performing to a crowd of over 5,000 near Toronto, Canada in 1992. That's why the camera is so shakey sometimes; people were bumping into me.

Thank you so much for this Heinz. Myron was not so well known in UK , but as a fellow accordionist I respect and love this man. He was good- world class. Thanks from Frank in Bristol.

Can't say much that hasn't already been said. The man was a genius, a master at his craft and listening to him jam is something that will bring joy always. Thanks for sharing.

At my grandmother's house around '58, all would stop and be silent for the Lawrence Welk Show; and Myron was the top attraction. I only wish I had met my German wife sooner; so we could have caught him in New Braunfels at the Wurstfest. He made the world so much happier.

I met Myron Floren in person many years ago, and he was a very charming person-!

[@johnbrodecki2975]

I had the opportunity to play some duets with Myron on 3 different occasions. On the first occasion we did Beer Barrel Polka - I was young and cocky and decided I was going to show up Myron with my Bellow Shaking - Myron blew me away! Another young gun bites the dust.

He is (was) the greatest of all time. Not much else you can say, but I wish he was still around.

[@daleburrell6273]

THAT'S FOR DOGGONE SURE-!!!

[@BorgoPhone]

Nice combination of Charles Magnante and Pietro Frosini arrangements topped with his own style.

[@jandersondoacordeon5652]

Muito bom

[@Ecgwald]

It's too bad the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which hosts/produces the Grammy Awards, eliminated the Polka category in 2009. They obviously never heard Myron Floren.

[@daleburrell6273]

Ecgwald Maybe that's because Myron Floren isn't playing any more(?)

[@johnstruzziero8319]

At 0:26 it looks like he’s punishing his accordion and starts playing like a violin....

😺😸😻😺😻😸Hi There this is Mr C. T. Boxill-Harris, I was wondering if they need to do the exact same version of Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime, why don’t they just Replace the Synthesiser String Sound to an Musette Accordion 🪗 and make this Musette sound for the Accordion 🪗 5 and a half times More Deeper then the Synthesiser String Sound and also Replace the Xylophone Sound to a 7 Times More Deeper Chime Bell or Even a 10 Times More Deeper Still Drum Sound, Because it is Still my Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Favourite Song Ever Since I was about 11 Years of Age Thank You 😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉👍😉👏👏😉😉😉😄👍😅👏👏😅👍😉👏👏
