I AM AN ACCORDION PLAYER, AND i'M PROUD OF IT !!!!!
Started playing accordion at age 13 ... Didn't study music before that ... Played in accordion contests in various states ... played Carnegie Hall with an accordion symphony orchestra !!! .. the only part of being an accordion player that I am embarrassed about is the fact that I haven't played it in DECADES !!! DAMN, I have to get that box out from under the steps!!!

And like cass and Lucky, I still think like an accordionist as far as the left hand is concerned - which, unfortunately, is not always good as a keyboard player ...
