Edward's old accordion. My new accordion.
This is a picture of my new accordion.
This is a video of me playing my new accordion.
I am not very good at this instrument yet. I got it last saturday morning at 1:30 am. I really think it looks cool and it says General Acc. Detroit on it. It also has the owner’s name, Edward, in rinestones set into it as well. All in all it is a beautiful work of art that makes beautiful music. It is well played and I look foward to playing it more. I wonder where it has been and what joy it has given to people. I want to continue in that tradition. I hope to use it busking this summer with my friends and it may be part of our annual Mardi Gras parade later this month, weather permitting. If I ever learn any real songs on it I will post videos of them here. The popularity of this instrument declined in the 50s, and 60s, but I’m into it. So let’s polka, and stay hungry.

That is a hot looking accordion. Nice atmospheric piece too. Did you get the gig with p-ditty? Who is p-ditty? Strutting is good.
