This may not jive with the theme of this thread, such as it is, but the accordion player Flaco Jimenez passed on the other day so I thought I'd link to a couple of songs that might demostrate the range this master musician had. He'll Have to Go , from Ry Cooder's excellent Chicken Skin Music LP, it was a hit for Jim Reeves 1960. Streets of Bakersfield , sung by Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens. Buck made a fine recording of this Homer Joy song back in 1972, with a Don Rich harmony vocal, that didn't do much on the charts
