No Accordion Jokes Please

[Kiwijohn]

I collect and restore button accordions.
I Was ordered to tidy up the storage today, so it was a good chance for a group photo.

Ok.. just one accordion joke..

Never leave an accordion in an unlocked car..
..

Why?
..
Because when you come back it will be full of them

No joke John, I endured two years of accordion lessons.

But,"I collect and restore button accordions"...?

What the heck? You have a peculiar hobby/occupation, my friend.

My guess is that you were enduring PIANO accordion lessons.
These babys are quite different, and much more fun to play.
It is just a hobby, as is swishing back and forth, a round disc on the end of a stick is
The gold coloured ones at the top of the photo are very popular in Quebec.
Thanks for your comment Likely Guy.

Hey, I used to have one of those... only mine was a typewriter!

 

[Woodland Detectors]

Acordian to me....Those are very nice

 

[Kiwijohn]

Ever heard of a gabinelli? - coincrazed

Yes.. Gabinellis are popular for Conjunto and sometimes Zydeco music.
They usually have 3 or 4 rows of buttons for that style of playing.

 

[boogeyman]

Very cool looking.

Lesson 1. Don't mess with the kid that plays accordian. He's got muscles & endurance from hauling the thing back & forth to school everyday.

 

[rginn]

No way I would polka fun at you. I actually hear them a lot in Corridos and I'm one of the few, well only one actually, in my social circle who listens to zydeco, especially Clifton Chenier. You do a good job at restoration, too.

 

[allen]

neat little hobby you have !

 

[silvercop]

those are nice. i remember seeing a guy play those things on the lawrence welk show. had to watch it every week with my grandmaw

 

[stefen]

At one time I was going to have a license frame engraved with "I'm Happy My Parents Were Too Poor To Afford Accordian Lessons."

 

[packerbacker]

I wanted to play the piano when I was young - so my parents bought me an accordian. (I didn't get the idiocyncracies of 'the house isn't big enough for a piano).

5 long years of accordian. I even got to meet Lawrence Welk and Myron Floren (my accordian teacher was Myron Floren's teacher and a good friend of his).

Hey, but I can still do a heck of a rendition of "Roll Out the Barrel"
