    That will be good, Sal, and I'm sure GC members would be glad of a post or two from him.
    Well, I do have patience but not enough to ever make me have any talent.:heehee:

    I reckon the accordion is two instruments in itself. I could definitely never play it - on the one side you have a keyboard, but you can't actually see it to know what you are doing, and on the other side you have a bunch of cord buttons. Hundreds of them. And you can't see them either. Then you have to pump the thing so nothing is staying still, but you are expected to be able to feel your way around both the keyboard and the chord buttons. My worst nightmare, for sure!

    I had a Chord Organ as a kid. Keyboard of about two octaves, and a dozen perhaps? chord buttons for the left hand. All visible and you could see what you were doing, and to get some air through it? you plugged it into the mains :)

    "Know everything about something, something about everything, and play a musical instrument" :)

      Well, I believe they are called Piano Accordions, Kristen, so you're right they really are two instruments. I'm so untalented musically that I can never figure which is the right way to turn the handle on a Barrel Organ:doh::snork:

      I think its a great instrument. There were a couple of Old Boys who played squeeze-box in the local pub, which me & my mates used to pile into of a Friday night back in the '70s. Just naturally talented, and very entertaining, and seemingly unperturbed at the disturbance of 70 of us hooligans in their territory more normally reserved for just the half dozen of them! Probably happy that we, single handedly so-to-speak, over the course of 3 or 4 years of Friday nights, saved the pub from closure for the next three generations!
