Rowan LipkovitsLate in the night, I finally had a chance to record an #OzzyOsbourne memorial #StupidAccordionTricks tribute -- you know, as quietly as possible so as not to awaken my family. As one does! Last stop, everyone off the #CrazyTrain!

Usually if you were to say it felt like I was playing #AllNightLong, it would just be a metaphor for how interminable this #StupidAccordionTricks set was, feeling like it was lasting forever and you'd never see the blessed end of it. But in this case you'd just be accurately naming #LionelRichie's 1983 song.
All Night Long (Lionel Richie, Can't Slow Down, 1983) ...played on the accordion!
We reached the summer solstice somehow, so here's a deep cut for my weekly #StupidAccordionTricks series, the shortest video I've ever recorded and also the oldest song, nearly 800 years of age! Stand back, #SumerIsIcumenIn
Sumer is icumen in (1261) ... played on the accordion! (1829)
Some celebrity deaths call for emergency expedited #StupidAccordionTricks, and #BrianWilson's definitely qualified. Rest in peace, king! Here's his sublime #GodOnlyKnows, compromised only with the drag factor of my squeezebox and singing.
God Only Knows (the Beach Boys, Pet Sounds, 1966) ... played on the accordion!
I've fallen behind with my #StupidAccordionTricks schedule this month, but here's an evergreen tune I had installed in an "In Case Of Emergency, Break Glass" box. It's @Geoffberner 's exhaustingly evergreen #MaginotLine.

And now for something COMPLETELY different, and yet hauntingly familiar. My Scottish cousin is half-right, this USED to be a local tune, when the oldest mountains in the world weren't cut in half by a wee ocean...
Duelling... accordia?

Dueling Banjos played by Scottish musician Ruairidh Maclean 'RuMac' on accordion at Inverness 2024
#KatieLee sang this lolsob song, #theWillToFail, in 1957's psychoanalysis-themed "Songs of Couch and Consultation", so I'm keeping the silly songs rolling for April's #StupidAccordionTricks
The Will To Fail (Katie Lee, Songs of Couch and Consultation, 1957) ... played on the accordion!
To finish off my #StupidAccordionTricks month of songs by kick-ass women songwriters, I climbed into the ring with #Heart's #Barracuda and wound up flat on my back, figuratively speaking. But I had to take a crack at it!
Barracuda (Heart, 1977) ... played on the accordion!
For IWD March I try to dedicate my weekly #StupidAccordionTricks selections to songs by kick-ass women songwriters. #LesleyGore's iconic feminist anthem #YouDontOwnMe technically doesn't qualify, but here it seems I have recorded it regardless.
You Don't Own Me (Leslie Gore, 1963) ... played on the accordion!
It's my annual #StupidAccordionTricks conflict of wanting to observe St. Patrick's day with some Irish music but not having any interest in Celtic music (DESPITE playing an instrument that fits with it... the pitfalls of the contrarian.) So here's another #SineadOConnor song - from 1990, #BlackBoysOnMopeds.
