Ha!
I missed taking accordeon lessons as a five year old by sheer luck that the teacher was Portuguese, and my narrow-minded French-Canadian parents offered me up to the local nuns for piano , and then organ lessons! Close call, eh?
So it was quite the treat to find myself mesmerized by four crazy guys spewing fine jazz in Avignon this past summer. Two phenomenal guitarists, percussion, and a wacko squeezeboxer improvising on everyone from Ellington through
Weather Report! And...they were from on tour of Europe from Poland!
Their CD has nice licks on it, with a definite Mediterranean
lilting tinge. It is the ONLY accordeon I have been able to listen to....
