THIS HAS BEEN ONE BIG TEASE.<br /><br />Me and the boys were down on State Street (a pedestrian mall here) yesterday afternoon, and one of the street musicians had an accordion. We listened to her for a while. It's a neat instrument. How great for your daughter to catch the attention of one of the stars of the show. Sounds like she's pretty awesome at this. You should get her to let you post a video of her playing.Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-60373606229005724322014-09-01T10:28:48.990-07:002014-09-01T10:28:48.990-07:00Sounds like a fun time!

We have a local band here making a splash, called KONGOS, and I think they make accordion sound pretty damn cool (in particular, their hit song "Come With Me Now."A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-38785569806586015842014-09-01T09:56:14.610-07:002014-09-01T09:56:14.610-07:00My mother used to play the acordian, when she was ...My mother used to play the acordian, when she was younger and had no kids.
