play accordion

I had an accordion when I was 20 yrs old.
my X sold it to a pawn shop…well here
I am 30 years later wanting very much to
learn this wonderful instrument…I started
with a little 12 bass …and then found
myself a teacher (no easy task) I have now
been taking lessons for 4 months…and
learning notes at the same time…sometimes
I feel so encouraged…when I am succesful
at learning a song or memorizing a song to
play without notes…then other times…I
wonder if I will ever become proficiant at
this instrument…I know it is just ONE
step at a time..
well anyway…I so want to play gospel
music on the accx (my abbreviation for
accordion) my first goal is to learn
Amazing Grace…my dear departed daddy’s fav song….

Yann Tiersen made me fall in love with the noidrocca all over again.

a friend is lending me her accordion for however long i want on saturday! i am very very giddy. where do i begin???

my sister came home with this old smelly black case, and told me to open it. “what’s in it?” I ask “just OPEN IT!” she pleads “what is it?” I ask “LAURA, JUST OPEN IT AND SEE” she cries. I unlock it quickly and a flurry of books fall into my lap. They are accordian instruction booklets. Inside the worn leather case is a small, soft purple/ pinkish accordian!!
We learn a few songs together and decide not to tell our parents about it until we can play a rousing tune. What a good flea market find!!
JUST WHAT WE WERE WAITING FOR!!
