G'day Doug,
Thought you might like this one -
Deffination of a Gentleman - A man who
can play an accordian, but
doesn't!
I guess that must qualify you as a Gentleman.
Only joking.
Years ago, when I was involved in the Buffalo Order, we had a bloke who played piano accordian, and he was amazing!
Could play jazz, blues, old-time and even a couple of rock numbers. Sadly, he's long gone now, but your post made me think of him.
Must admit that I really like zydeco music - a strange blend of folk/cajun/blues/jazz with a strange French flavour, in which the piano accordian is the principle instrument. Very lively, foot-stomping stuff in which the accordian is played at blinding speed and stunning dexterity.
Stuff being a Gentleman! Why don't you take it up again?
