I've listened to some of the songs on the MySpace page. It sounds to me like this endeavor brings a lot of pleasure and joy, and I wouldn't let any of the criticisms on these threads diminish that. The pleasure and joy of playing and singing is what it's all about.

I play the accordion for the pleasure and joy of it, and even though I've been playing for almost eight years, I still consider myself a beginner. People sometimes give me a hard time for not being more forthcoming with recordings of myself playing, even though I don't think I play well enough for that. I expect that if I was more forthcoming in that respect, there would be other people just waiting to criticize me for not being a better player. No matter what one does, there will always be people who will feel compelled to criticize.

This is me badly playing a Finnish Christmas song...
