- Léo Daniderff (1878-1943). He composed for the bal musette scene and even had one of his songs appear in a Charlie Chaplin movie. This particular song debuted in 1912 and is based on the life of a real man, Hippolyte Poly aka "Le Dénicheur" because he used to find young naïve women who were turned to prostitution. He was killed in a bal musette in the Bastille neighborhood by another tough man, Théo de Vanves. Jo Privat told the story in an interview. (Thanks to Francois for this important enlightenment). I'm playing it on my recently refurbished Virgilio Soprani. He was active in accordion manufacturing between 1937 and 1983 in Recanati, just outside of Castelfidardo. This LMM accordion was restored, tuned, and refurbished by George Bachich. He also created a wet French musette switch, which I love, and he installed LED lights under the grille so that the interior can be appreciated even more. George rescues accordions like poor little feral cats. You can see his magic behind the curtain at www.accordionrevival.com

Gorgeous accordion, sounds wonderful when you play it! Nice job, Sheri!
Wonderful playing Sheri! I like your style and your accordion sounds great! Have a nice day,--- Mario
I had not seen you play this accordion, it sounds nice. I should learn this song from your book. Thanks for posting; I always look forward to them.
Dear Sheri, don't you have the impression that each new piece of music we learn to play is much nicer that all the previous ones taken together? I am rather convinced about this. You played Denicheur perfectly - I can even feel the french atmosphere. :)
Hi! each piece has its own vitality; it can't be compared. Now, with each composer, you can create a hierarchy from least attractive to most compelling. when I perform a piece, I am thinking of the lyrics. I listen to the most accurate (faithful) rendering available. I imitate that with an emphasis on my own phrasing but it is still based on the vocalist's phrasing (if there are words). Le Denicheur has lyrics--it tells a story so each verse is different as the story unravels. the final reprise must deliver a certain finality to the story. As far as strictly instrumental music, without words, I take the title seriously. I keep that in mind so that I can reflect that theme as I play. Does that help you in your own desire to be 'evocative'? I hope so. Sheri
