Defintion for perfect pitch:

When you throw the accordian into the dumpster and it hits the banjo.

Tony,
I taught Accordion in 1952, sold many of them. Had about 100 students that I taught from the time school was out to the adults bedtime around 11PM. This was in Bremerton Washington where I was Navy. I had a band made up of these students that was all and only accordions.
Joe Stancato owner of a huge big accordion store in Los Angeles furnished me with all the 12 bass I needed to start new students and then the 120 bass Enrico Rosselli accordions to sell to the advanced students. Dick Contino came up and played for us a couple of times and this resulted in even more students. It was kinda fun while it lasted but I have never missed it since I got transferred out
PS. My Accordion sits in its case and is a table for my CD's

BeBop .... I started studying accordion around '54 ... I played in an all accordion orchestra in contests and concerts... played classical music such as 1812 Overture, Capriccio Italien, Beethoven's 5th, etc. ... all of us playing the original classical orchestra parts ... Greatest thrill in this area was playing a concert in Carnegie Hall in NY, NY !!!...
Get that box out of the case and SQUEEZE IT !!! ...

Bought a "no name" imported accordion at
last year's summer NAMM. Don't know anything about it (Lots rows of buttons), but it will occupy a place of honor next to my cytar(sp?), Kona Blaster electric uke, etc. Haven't opened the case since I acquired it over a year ago. Bellows have probably already started to come apart.

Crazy? Nah, I just LOVE instruments!
