I know the temptation will be extremely powerful, but let's all exercise control! Let me be the first to pledge:

"I will NOT violate the purchase limits on items important to our society's survival!"

Done.

we know chas will donate his two to a family in need ...

But, hey, I played accordion - be nice ...

It's bad! Just sayin'....don't take my word for it:

amazing what you can accomplish with 3 chords.....

Randy, another good one!! LOL

Funny.....and yet, if I, chas, had posted it, a certain member would be in a straightjacket, frothing at the mouth. Personal, you think?

chas

I don't froth, chas ...

Tony, you know I wasn't talking about you, MARK my words .

chas

Wrong Tony, I'm keeping mine. I've found that if I wear one in public, I automatically get 'SOCIAL DISTANCING' .

chas

Did you hear about the guy who left his accordion in the car? When he came back the window was broken out and there were TWO accordions in the car. DRUM ROLL<CYMBAL CRASH

No, not personal at all. Tony PLAYED the accordion....you didn't. That's your difference!

I have enough trouble when the keybed is horizontal! :-)
My wife had one when she was young, I asked here if she wanted another one and to play again...you don't even want to know her response!

Ooooh! So you have to have played one to kid about one. So Don, tell us about your accordion history. 'No, not personal at all'. Gee Mark, at your age I guess it's too late to say 'grow up'. I'm still trying to make the connection between French Musette music and Jerry Lee Lewis. Did Jerry play accordion?..or is there a part of French Musette music that incorporates barrelhouse piano? Curious minds want to know.

chas

I sent Chas an accordion to learn and Mark's musette recording.. about 3 months ago.. He never returned the accordion, but did return the musette recording the next day.

So Chas doesn't have a problem with the accordion


JUST KIDDING!!!! I don't want to be on that list with Chas's name

PS: I have enough problems with Donny and Dave

Too late Fran. You're already on Nigel's Fecal Roster (AKA Sh.t list) . BTW, I was going to come up for a visit but now, with 'social distancing', I have to keep at least 600 miles distance from you. Maybe when this virus stuff is all over, we can collaborate on a 'BENNY-FIT' concert for Benny (Cintioli).

PS: Stop stirring the pot .

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my accordion days! My Dad had one and when I discovered it one long and boring teen-summer, I was hooked! That thing became an appendage which I carried around like a Kangaroo carries a pup (err... a Joey). HA HA.

I'm sure some of the neighbors might have wished I HAD been a Kangaroo instead of a roving Accordionist. I'm sure they all had "Dark Eyes" and "Irish Eyes are Smiling" committed to their memories and they welcomed the end of summer. Still have fond memories of those days.

I hear ya, Randy ... when I practiced those songs I was in my bedroom which was in the back of the house ... when I was playing RnR, I played in the living room which was in the front of the house. When the weather was good, I would have the door and windows open ... We had a cute 16 year old blond living next door and she would sit on her porch and listen ... She actually asked me to learn Conway Twitty's "It's Only Make Believe" ... we had a 'thing' going for a while, but her being Baptist, and me a Catholic didn't sit well with her parents, so it didn't last long ...
Hmmm I wonder if the song was an omen ...

PS: I wrote my first song over that breakup ...

So many instruments, so much talent, so many emotions....so little time!
