I dated a guy who played an accordion, though I never heard him play and he didn't seem particularly musical -- like your aunt, I guess. Happy New Year to you.

Trut...Wendy, <i>how</i> did I miss this post?!?! Love it!<br /><br />Truth be told: my dad was actually an accordion instructor (among other things), so there was no way I could escape the inevitable accordion lessons.<br /><br />Nor did I evade mandatory attendance in the city (NYC) for the great <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Magnante" rel="nofollow">Charlie Magnante</a> accordion recitals every year.<br /><br />I won't say much more...but enjoyed the cartoons. The feeling is mutual, I'm sure ;) Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-23843011530361895472012-12-25T15:08:40.452-05:002012-12-25T15:08:40.452-05:00No photos for this week, but the accordion reminds...No photos for this week, but the accordion reminds me we have an old one rescued from uncle's home when we cleared it.

The poor accordion has many great soloists but when you get enough of them together the noise gets out of hand. So two YouTube videos that bring the cartoon to life. <br />http://youtu.be/6h9M02eHw8A<br /><br />http://youtu.be/IWI7GMce1SY<br /><br />My best wishes to you for a happy holiday and bright new year!Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-9982115748719169692012-12-24T12:28:54.095-05:002012-12-24T12:28:54.095-05:00All the cartoons and photos are interesting, but I...All the cartoons and photos are interesting, but I was most intrigued by the card of the accordion teacher standing outside with his accordion.Postcardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399915833682943432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-55576657663699344572012-12-24T10:42:42.272-05:002012-12-24T10:42:42.272-05:00You are so right on theme this week, Ms. Wendy!
