When I packed up my mother's house, I'm not sure which of them took it. My dad was a self taught musician, he and his brother, my uncle, would haul out any old instrument they could find at a reasonable price, usually a violin or clarinet, and play for the sheer pleasure of it, my brother in law would accompany them on his accordion, now there's a gifted musician.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171389134207433317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29258841.post-37224049956970468282011-07-17T11:24:53.836-04:002011-07-17T11:24:53.836-04:00Practice... the downfall of many a tiny musician. ...Practice... the downfall of many a tiny musician. I can remember jumping up to sit on my accordion case while I wait for my lesson. I was so young, my feet didn't touch the floor when I sat on the case. It was a child sized instrument, but still felt enormous on my lap. <br /><br />The only reason I agreed to the lessons was because I believed my father would sit with me while I practiced. He didn't - and me and mom never did get very much out of the lessons. Good thing it was only a rented accordion.<br /><br />The photo of your dad is fabulous. I wish I had a photo of me with the accordion. Good to remember. Better to have evidence. :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
