My wife wants me to sell my accordion because of my dreadful attempts at playing, she says surprisingly that the singing is Ok if I stand in a big enough field!

Is this encouragement or what!

Her flute playing is wonderful, (she is standing looking over my shoulder).

Can some agony aunt advise?

I have to admit that humming to the accordion is a very disturbing experience, but if I sing at the same time the dog starts howling!
