Robin: The accordian was not my instrument of choice. I wanted a pedal, steel guitar!

It was gorgeous, though, and I lugged it around for about 20 years. Pretty black thing with inlaid mother of pearl. It burned up in a house fire. You're right about the teaching style of the early 60's. Lots of Polkas and Christmas Carols but ...

when I saw Queen Ida in concert, it gave me a whole new perspective.

Now I just have to get on it.
