This is a photo of my wife, Cruz, taken sometime in the 1960's. We still have an accordian in the house, though it is apparently a different one.
I now offer here, on my blog, a very recent cell phone fuzzy video of Cruz playing (trying to play) the accordian, with our Grandson, Jesse, also in the mix...

Once a sweetie, always a sweetie Dan.
So will Jesse pick up the accordion anytime soon? It always looks like such a hard instrument to play - so many things to do at once. I'm one of those people who struggle to rub her tummy and pat her head at the same time.
Fortunately, I am rarely called upon to do it.
Wow, I remember taking accordian lessons back in the 60's, too!!
Ooomm Pah Pah
Ooomm Pah Pah...
Love to fuzzy Cruz!
...and Margie, I doubt if Jesse would be able to pick up the accordian - let alone play it!
What a lovely snippet of video Dan. I admire people who can play the accordion. Like Marige, I cannot perform different actions with two hands let alone one ;-)
That's an absolutely adorable photo too!
Oh, accordion music was my first love as a little kid :) Cute photo of Cruz!
That accordian looks like a beast to me!
margie:
Jesse picks up....everything, though it is not always what he should!
Dale:
You sound ready for Octoberfest already!
Vallyp:
I know what you mean. I cannot really play an instrument worth a darn, though my mitts try so hard.
hans:
Good to "see you"! Yes, so many of us really know that accordian, though many, like me, cannot play anything like that. It is a really common sound in many countries.

Hi Dan
You always show me something new and surprising. I have never in my life seen a left-handed accordean, and I can assure you I see at least three accordeans per year on average, so that's well over 120 now.
Or does your videophone flip the image horizontally?

It's not all that bad. It's like patting your head and your tummy at the same time: easy.
Ah, the old SQUEEZEbox, eh?
Cute! ;)
