Let's take it way back here... *wavy flashback screen*

A couple years ago, a young man named Dennis from Germany emailed me about sheet music for one of my remixes because his sister wanted to play it in her recital. This was pretty cool, I sent him the music, he gave it to her, then sent me a recording later of her playing it. Good times.

Somewhere in there, he had heard about some of my original pieces and asked if I had any that he could see. I gave him a duo piano piece called "Salsa" from a set I wrote for my senior recital. It's a rocking piece and you should all learn it.

So, a year or more goes by and then I get an email from him. He's given it out to a couple people: his best friend who performed the piece in his postgrad recital, and then his best friend's mom owns a music school where she conducts a woman's choir and an accordion orchestra. One of the other teacher's there (I think I'm getting this right) arranged my salsa for accordion orchestra and percussion and they performed it at one of their concerts. This guy is the best publicist I've ever seen. I have been heard in more venues in Germany than in my own backyard!

I promised videos, and that's what I'm giving you. He sent me audio recordings of both the pieces, but then sent me the real payoff: the video of the accordion orchestra performing my piece. Watch me be a proud father! This is the biggest high I've been on for years. YEEEEARS.

It's in mpg2 format, so if you can't watch it, I used VLC (?):

This is way awesome.

ugh, Karl I didn't know you were going to post the VIDEO link here. I'm gonna have to take it down before it sucks up my entire limit for the month. Sorry!

Maybe someone who's downloaded it will rehost it for you.

Link to the mp3 in the meantime:

I did my best to suck up as much bandwidth as possible before you found out. :) I'll either do the youtube thing or make sweet sweet (diabetic) love to wingless for some bandwidth.

You make songs, I take credit. The perfect duo.

sadorf and I already invented this technique. Get your own.

Heard this in MP3 form already, but the video ups the awesome factor because there's nothing cooler than watching people in uniform play accordions. This ought to whet my appetite until Ancient Library Polka is finally finished.
