Saw in entertainment section of my Sunday Newspaper that Yo Yo Ma was learning to play Accordion. He said he was taking lessons and that it was very difficult. Said he had had a few piano lessons and that was helping. ---------------------------Can't wait to see if he does a Polka encore on the Accordion when doing next gig with NY Philharmonic.

He'll have fun! I've been playing since I was six and in an accordion band in the 50's.. He really don't look like he's too familiar with that tuba .. what make and size is that beautiful horn??
