Great story Wilco.

I played at an old folks Home about six years ago, and this little ol' guy comes up to me and says "Where's yer accordion"? "Nope" says I, "I play guitar and banjo". "So your mother didn't teach you accordion eh"? He says.

He then told me that he'd been in one of my late mother's bands OVER 50 years ago! He had recognized my last name, and had come down to the lounge to see if "Dotty's kid" was any good! He said my timing was good, listened to a couple of songs, and then drifted off to sleep in his chair!

Cheers

Rick
