[Nick Collis Bird]

I love it all , and just wish I could play like that . Such fun. 

[Chris Ryall]

The Grenoble improvisation course I keep advocating teaches you how. There are rules that make some things work beautifully   some disasterous    They also do nice things like timing, harmony, phrasing and sensitivity, of course

Playing "out" has a bit of Russian roullette to it!  But you don't need a fully chromatic box

[Rog]

That's not a bad impression of Jon Lord and the CBA isn't far off a Hammond. Also reminded me of a quote from Mike Leigh's Naked...when Davd Thewlis asks the twitching, nervous Ewan Bremner... 'What's it like being you? Is it a bit hectic?'  Also love the way he can't stay seated. Brilliant.

I liked it, but I still like rock.
His energy alone brought a grin to my face.

[melodeon]

One thought came to mind considering the performance and the "art" :

Might I suggest:  On both fronts, don't quit your day job.

This was mildly tolerable; the best part was his enthusiasm for his own effort.

I feel the best part about it, is how much fun he appears to be having.  He's loving life at that moment! 

[summerstars]

Although he is playing a CBA, Smoke on the Water is quite playable on a melodeon. I sometimes use the main riff as an introduction to the an dro, Thème Vannetais as a kind of musical joke. If played in Bm Dorian, the only note not readily available on a D/G two-row with low notes is an F natural and even that can be avoided.

Bob,  any chance of a transcription of the notes you play (or abc) please

Here is a PDF of the main riff.
