Excellent decision !!

Consider the Milleret/Pignol  book and CD's   available from The Button Box in Mass

Also check out  CARUHEL publications in France  by Yann Dour..
excellent books

And for some very good G/C listening try Frederic(sp) Paris....he put out a couple of books..not sure they are still available

And one of my all time favorite 2 row G/C players is Santiago Jimenez JR.. Flaco's  brother...( and IMNSHO a far better player)
one excellent CD  playing  a two row Hohner  is :   El Gato Negro   ... Rounder CD 6044
Proof  "we don need no stinkin 3 row"..........

On you tube there is a lot of 2 row GC playing

I have some favorites and one is by a young guy from I believe Nova Scotia
I'll see if I can locate it...  he is doing a great job on a Hohner  Erica G/C....


Best of luck !

Mitch Gordon at the above website is a great source of French music - Jean Blanchard, Frederic Paris and also has a book/CD set called 'Getting Into The Box - Traditional French Music on the G/C Button Accordion - Vol. 1' which has tunes played slowly and also at normal speed, ideal for learning with. I purchased the book and CD myself and have found them very useful.

Thanks again, melodeon and juker for your encouragement and suggestions. Yes, some of those French diatonic players are amazing. Have you ever seen the videos by the Belgian/Catallonian duo 21 Boutons? I've also viewed a lot of G/C playing on YouTube from the Canadian Maritimes. As I replied the other day to Theo, though, first I've got to get over the hurdle of learning how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!
