Accordians... hmmm. My wife and I have become friends with a wonderful man and his wife who live in the area. He plays accordian.. he's Italian, and his style is very reflective of his heritage. I thought I'd introduce him to a range of accordian styles he wasn't familiar with, so I have him five CDS: One by Art VanDamme.. a fine jazz accordianist, and Lou DiPippo, and very unknown jazz accordianist, one by Jo El Sonnier, a cajun accordinaits who has gone Nashville now, Clifton Chenier (a Zydeco accordianist whop plays in a blues style, and a CD of two blind black street singers from Philadelphia (Clay and Scott) who do gospel accompanied only by an accordian. My next CD to copy for his is by Nathan Abshire, considered the finest of the Cajun accordianists by many.

Whatever style you love, there is plenty of recorded material to stimulate you. As for me, I don't play accordian. My wife is my Main Squeeze.
