Okay, so the skill-set required to play them may be the same but there is a HUGE difference between a traditional accordion and a midi accordion. For the record, I prefer the midi accordion. Several observations (based soley on my personal opinion):

1. The guy is a good, competent, 'lounge pro'.
2. Although normally not a big fan of Ketron, I have to admit that it provides some of the best accompaniment among arranger keyboards.
3. I liked that jazz waltz (around 2:05) although there wasn't much 'accordionish' about it.
4. The guy is better looking than Uncle Dave smile.

He is better looking than UD, the vocal harmony was very robotic sounding, and the guy is very talented.
