Night Owl It sounds like great stuff you are doing. I'm 19 and live in the UK and I play Accordion. I often take it into schools and the children get lots of enjoyment from it. I have also played at day centers for people with learning difficulties, Altzimas etc and it is the most rewarding work I have ever done. It seems to me like the REAL reason for playing the music I do, to give enjoyment to people. I think that anyone that can play an instument has a very special skill and also has a capasity to help people enjoy life, whatever it may be like. You often don't realise quite what a skill it is until you realise people often are looking forward to you coming to play for them months in advance. I always like to play in the day centers for nothing, its sort of my thing for the community and I like it!

Bye, Sam
