Growing up reading comic books, for me Texas always seemed like never, never land. I always enjoyed playing Texas songs. Over the last few years at the Las Vegas Accordion Convention I met a lot of accordionists from Texas, but one of my favorites is George Simko from Lubbock. So here are the songs I played for him when he visited us this month: “San Antonio Rose”, by Bob Wills, “El Paso”, by Marty Robbins, and the the Texas national anthem, The Yellow Rose of Texas”, an old folk song.

Sheri Migarano

Sheri entertained us with some very moving pieces, “Dark Eyes”, “Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen (To me, you are grand)”, and “Ombrage (a musette)”. Sheri never disappoints, hurry back Sheri

Stanko Pecavar

Well. what can I say about this young man. He cannot read music, but plays like he was born with an accordion in his veins. This man fell out a tree not all that long ago, and last rights were considered. He is truly a young man and a treasure!

Guy Richards

What can I say about this guy Guy? I had a rough time keeping up with him, but here is what I could get, ”Vermont”, ‘Stars over Alabama”, “Hello Dolly”, “Jewish Wedding Medley for last girl of Family”, “Jambalaya” , “Tango”, “Zorba the Greek”, “Maria Maria”. It probably would have been easier to name what he did not play.

He is truly an entertainer and treasure to have in our midst!

Tony Mustaro & George Simko

George and Tony teamed up for a duet. A little Polka, “I Wonder Why”, and “Echos of Vienna”. We need to find a way to kidnap George away from Texas!
