Speaking of Accordions, Steve, which you weren't but did mention it in passing! The accordion, well specifically a one hundred year old, white mother of pearl one changed my life, may even have saved it. I was fourteen years and three quarters whence I saw it in Jack Brentnall's music shop in the middle of Nottingham in the east midlands of England. I had gone there with my father to buy a guitar for my Christmas present, but when I saw the accordion in the shop window I was instantly besotted by it. This was a couple or three years before I had suffered any effects of AS, good days. Hereafter my life was changed, for the better, I met an Accordion teacher and his wife who became lifelong friends and have made my life in music since that purchase more or less, the advent of AS meant, when I was very stooped, that I could no longer play the thing but fortunately had graduated to piano by then, now arthritic hands prevent me playing the piano, but I have had the joy of music in my life for sixty odd years. How clever of you to attract my attention by mentioning the Accordion, Steve. A true delight to speak with you here again and I will respond to your previous post referring to my best seller multi-million pound earner of a book in a while.
