I did finally get my instrument back… the repairman assured me that all the keys worked, however, the sharps and a few keys are semi-silent. C’est la vie… it is good enough to rehearse on. I named him Darth Vader (b/c he wheezes) and am working my way through the Palmer-Hughes book. I am also learning basic music theory as I go, since I never really played an instrument before. I just love playing!

well, I booked the tickets! Looks like I’m off to visit my friend, oh, very soon! Wish me luck and bon voyage!

Frustrated—my accordion arrived w/ some minor issues—namely, the bass keys are lodged in the “on” position. I took my accordion to the local Horn Hospital, which luckily services accordions. However, it has been there for, what, four days, and I’m tired of waiting for my accordion, not knowing what the condition is. The HH guy thought there might possibly be some bellows damage, which would be a death sentence for my instrument. So… I am in limbo, waiting for my accordion, and hoping to God that the issues w/ it are only minor.
