Bateau Mouche

[vivdunstan]

Delighted to manage some accordion practice this afternoon, on my bigger 72 bass box, bought 41 years ago from Clinkscales in Melrose. Made by Paolo Soprani in Castelfidardo, Italy. Here is a recording of my own arrangement of Bateau Mouche by Henry Mancini from the movie Charade. I enjoyed playing lots of other tunes in the key of B minor, my favourite key that I can’t play fully on my compact 48 bass second accordion I often play for convenience! So eg my arrangements of Ed Sheeran’s Shivers, Despacito and Once Upon A December from the movie Anastasia.
