YeGads, Carol: I would think that a responsible Musician, especially of the fair gender, would be well advised to employ a certain level of protective attire when playing that accordion!

Although not conversant with the instrument personally, I would speculate that with those pleated bellows expanding and contracting, things could get... well.. caught up in the works, so to speak. If you were playing "Cajun", I suppose that the abrupt, forteissimo high-alto vocalization which might reasonably attend such an accident (risk of which would be significantly greater on the "squeeze" stroke)would fit right in with little notice taken by the presumably inebriated audience (it seems somewhat incongruous that a Lady would be performing topless before an audience much given to sobriety - unless of course the gig were at a "Naturalist" gathering... but rumor has it that Nudists are not much given to the accordion, and upon due reflection, I can rather imagine why).

Associated sensations might interject a certain degree of distraction, which would not, I opine, contribute in any positive way to your virtuosity. And I suspect that there may be someone in your life with a vested interest in the integrity and well - being of your body, complete with all of it's associated appendages and accessories.

So please, do be carefull; after all, "It's for the Children", my Deah...
