The best accordion players are like the best banjo players in one way: they play their instrument in such a fashion it brings out the "joy" in the sound. A great banjo player makes his banjo "ring", and a great accordion player like Myron Floren makes his accordion "dance" as if the instrument itself were skipping across the floor with joy. R.I.P. Myron Floren, America's favorite accordion man.
He said it saved his life in his book, something to do with the arteries in his arms being like highways. He was ill and having excellent circulation had something to do with him surviving, I forget the details.
Years ago, l heard a guy play the accordion, he played a hymn at a church l was attending. I do not remember the hymn, unfortunately, but do remember how well he played and how so lovely it was. Do not know what happened to that guy, just hope he is well.
Totally "much too fast" Try dancing to that one. A habit of Mr Welk's...............go as fast as possible. Not so good. Myron is the best though, no matter what needs to be done.
💘 LOVE. Rest in Peace, Lawrence Welk and Myron Floren. The BEST.. Absolutely. Miss you both. 😢
He was one of the greatest, and he will always be a legend.
He was the BEST OF THE BEST.
this man has made alot of happy people I wish i was there to see him play

He was THE greatest in my opinion! :)
A true artist!!!!!
what precious footage thank you a million!
Heinz, thanks so much for sharing your videos of Myron Floren. I idolized him when I was a young kid back in the 50s.
A master of the Accordion
Ah Myron Floren, the Happy Norwegian, what a talent!
This sounds sooo good cuz its just Myron by himself.
Myron Floren a handsome talented dude
He looked better than people twenty years his junior. I guess playing the accordion keeps you young!

It is a joy just to watch his fingers move.

He could play the minute waltz in about 39.5 seconds.
im only here because my accordion came with the sheet music and i wanted to know what it should sound like.
IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES YOU SWEAR THAT WAS BROTHER ANDY
Well, in the USA yes. But search for russian accordeonist/bayanists.
