Quite a number of us here started out as accordion players ... it was the portable instrument of choice in the 50's ... and you didn't have to be concerned about the venue piano being out of tune ...

Donny ... The wedding was great !!! First class (almost) all the way ... only low point was a DJ instead of live music, but they did a pretty good job ... high tech, too ... using 2 lap tops ... no CD's, turntables, nothing but LT and spkrs ...
But the wedding - ceremony on the beach ... tremendous cocktail hour ...choice of filet mignon, talapia or chicken for dinner entree ... all the food was EXCELLENT ... open bar all day ... GREAT reunion with some family we haven't seen in some time ...
BTW ... had dinner the night before at McLoon's on the river ... wonderful ...
