Re: National Accordion Awareness month--June
I kind of enjoy working on mine, just wish it would stay fixed. There's a key or two where the linkage is loose and every once in a while falls apart, disconnecting the middle register valve for that key.TubaTinker wrote:NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! They're fun to fix!

Re: National Accordion Awareness month--June
How can one NOT be aware of accordions!? Even Helen Keller and Tommy dislike them. Even violists dislike them. Even conductors (gasp!) won't play them!title of thread wrote:National Accordion Awareness month--June

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Once I was attending an outdoor concert by an excellent 17 piece big band.
During a Sammy Nestico/Count Basie chart the leader whipped out a 'cordeen
and started soloing!
OMG! WTF!!

Artie Shaw was quoted in an interview(when speaking of Lawrence Welk), "Hell, an accordion isn't even a musical instrument" Ref: Biography on Artie Shaw shone on public TV in NC.
