Omigod.

Other players have explained far higher up why it was that they took up this or that concertina system. Because it was there. I (for example) began to play the English because a very fine player lived upstairs. Not actually because it was more "pure". A friend of mine at the time took up the Duet because someone who was already learning it offered to teach her. Music is filled with those who play whatever they play by chance. Nobody gets anywhere though without practice, practice and practice. I was talking to a banjo player recently who's been at it since his first lesson from Peggy Seeger 50 years ago. He's still practicing.
