Don,

Thanks for that info..

I've also noticed some accordian jokes here at Mudcat.

I gather that the people who play those instruments recognize that it's just friends lightly teasing friends. So no one's feelings get hurt.

With regard to the accordian, I like the sound of the accordian in Zydeco music. However, I can't say that I've heard that instrument anywhere else.

No wait. Wasn't there someone who played the accordian many years ago on the Lawrence Welk television show ?
