John Kimmel's Accordion Fantasy
I learnt this from Humdinger by Paul Brock and Enda Scahill. It took me ages to learn, so I hope it is right. Some people might prefer to play parts of it an octave lower to avoid the high Ds.

Kimmel's
What's the origin of this tune, is it irish? Brilliant all the same!

It seems that the title "Accordion Fantasy" was a tribute by Joe Derrane to the playing of John J Kimmel taken from his recordings.
