Reminds me of the accordian orchestra which was recently on "America's Got Talent"... I don't usually watch the show, but I thought the judges were a bit harsh on the accordian gals.

The stickers are from starving muscian. My husband has one on his accordian case. I wonder if you could cantact them and get them to send you one.

This is all kinds of awesome!

Yea, Gina! That was awesome! I cannot believe how well you are doing in such a short time.

I love the accordion. When I was young, we used to dance to polka bands at the Gay Parita, a big old dance hall out in the sticks near Carona, Kansas, where people of every age would dance the polka together. Those are good memories.

Reminds me of home long long ago - I love accordian music.

Melissa said...

Wow! I'm impressed! Did you say you just started lessons not very long ago? Hard to believe. Keep it and very soon you'll have us dancing to a polka. I love polka music!

yay! happiness! So fricken adorable!
I bought an accordion about 7months ago and you're inspiring me to actually pick it up and have a swoony old time!
Keep going keep going!

I love accordians, they are a 'complete' music making system. It's all yuo need for a good country dance.

I was on a train in Paris, a chap with an accordian got on at one station and played for everyone (while his mate went round with the hat) and got off at the next!

Fantastic...

I have the same bumper sticker on my guitar case. From store in San Jose, or nearby (had family there, it’s been many years, the guitar case is for “Mel”, short for meliniom, Brought home 12/31/99 played through midnight).
Ok the short version, anyone know where to get another?
