Tania Lukic-Marx now gives the CD reviews a rating
system. This system includes a number of stars at the completion
of the review, for example 5 stars (*****) means the CD was "brilliant"
or "excellent", 4 stars = impressive, 3 stars = good,
2 stars = satisfactory and 1 star = didn't impress.

This recording comes from Scotland. Jimmy Cassidy and Billy McGuire are
both ex-Scottish Champion Accordionists. For this recording they selected
a nice variety of continental pieces: some French waltzes, Swiss yodelling
song, Samba, etc. It is actually quite a refreshing selection of the tunes,
as it doesn't include stale accordion standards, such as: Tico Tico, Under
Paris Skies, etc. I found that most refreshing.
This recording is easy listening, meant for enjoyment, relaxation and is
very 'dancing friendly'. Billy and Jimmy are doing a professional job, their
tempos are precise and well measured, in fact - just right, clarity is crystal
clear, in other words - very enjoyable, classy entertainment. *****
