The Accordionist Entertains @ Goshen baptist Church

Accordionist Ian Robinson entertained a predominantly senior group at Goshen baptist Church, Tillsonburg.

Thanks so much. those old tunes bring back great memories of my dad who loved that music and I listened to a lot of it in my youth. God bless you and your ministry.


You play beautifully. I don't know a lot about music but what you play, that's lovely.

You have a wonderful touch.

I enjoyed playing the piano (at the beginning) with your accompaniment – He Touched Me and The Family Of God - Celebration Hymnal.

That was quite the concert. The songs and tunes you played made me want to get up and dance!

Excellent.

Lovely concert.

He can make the instrument talk.

It was nice to hear an accordion sound like an accordion.

Comments:

Excellent. My dad's favourite entertainer was Al Jolson. Loved Danny Boy and Amazing Grace (Grace was my mum's name)

Wonderful. You brought back a lot of childhood memories of my afternoon naps as listening to a lot of these tunes are how I went to sleep as a young child. Thank you!

You are a great artist. Thank you for playing and entertaining us. I could have gotten up and danced several times. Thank you again.

You played all my favourites. Come again!

Great.

Very enjoyable. Thank you.

Very good. Great pieces of music. Loved it all. Thanks.

Awesome!

Come again soon.

A pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Thank you.

A very masterful playing of a beautiful instrument – thank you so much.

Playing Limelight reminded me when my dad took me to see the film when I was 18-19.

What a multitasker! Right hand, left hand, bellows, singing. Simply wonderful.
