I recently saw an accordian in our local Salvation Army for $35. SO tempting, but I gave it a pass.
A nursing home I volunteer at has entertainment from an accordian player on a regular basis. I love when one of the ladies in the back start yelling out requests. “Play that ‘Helena Polka’! Good stuff.
Thanks for the slides!

That’s just GOTTA be Bea Taylor’s sister. Perhaps a Mount Pilot performance.

when I was in elementary school (Orange County, California) there was an assembly every year by a man who was an accordian player and he also gave lessons. I ALWAYS wanted to learn accordian, but it was very cost prohibitive. It’s been a LONG TIME since then and looking at this picture, I’m still a little jealous of this little girl. *sigh*

I can relate to that so much having taken lessons for 9 wonderous years. Also the Roller Skating Jubilee. We have also memories of our own roller skating jubilee and talent show Sundays. So very festive.

Although there are some very skilled, jazz accordion players, professional musicians for years have had a saying, “Use an accordion and go to jail !”

Ah yes… reminds me of the accordion lessons my dad gave me. Recently started playing it again after years of playing piano. Guess accordion will always be a goofy thing, so I’ll continue to play in the basement with the windows closed. Ee-gads!
