April Challenge - Corey

[coreyman97]

Hi Ronen and Accordion Love family. So glad to be a part of all this fun. This is my first challenge as I just joined a couple of months ago to learn this wonderful instrument. Since I love The Blues, this is a great challenge to cut my teeth! I kept recording videos and making mistakes and deleting them. Now that April is almost over, I'm (hopefully) uploading one with warts and all.

Thanks, Corey! THIS is BLUES

[Ronen from Accordion Love]

Corey, so good to see and hear you Keep at it! You have some really cool ideas in your blues playing. I like what you were doing up in those high notes - those three note combos. And the jumping back and forth between the lower and upper octaves. Lots of potential for fun there

Thank you for your first entry! Ronen

[Scotia G]

This sounds great, Corey. You've definitely got the blues spirit. Your accordion is beautiful - I love the pearly keys!

Hi Corey Good job on your first challenge.

Thanks for the kind words, Ronen, Reeka, Scotia and Kyle. I hope to do additional challenges when the task is within my grasp!

Scotia, I appreciate the accordion love (pun intended). I initially bought a beautiful 41/120 on ebay a couple of months ago when I started to learn and joined here. But I was having trouble as my fingers were squished as I played the left hand. I then learned that I had a ladies accordion so the keys and buttons were too small for me. I then found the one in the video locally (also on ebay) - it's an Excelsior Accordiana. I feel lucky to have found it.
