John...I don't see why on Earth you had to defend your remarks. What you said is "true"...period. Personally, I'm glad you said it because it's something I never thought much about, until....you said it!

I think most of you would agree that I'm a fine French musette accordion player. But, not having grown up or spent most of my life playing that type of music, I'll never be a "natural" Musette player. It takes the pressure off of me now, whenever I DO hear "natural" musette players.

Never thought much about that until you mentioned it here. So...thanks for posting that, even though you know every post of merit and personal opinion is going to incur the wrath of Chas (...and no "smiling face").
