  The mention of all those musicians makes me want to load up my iPod with more accordion music. :-)
• about 1 year, 1 month ago, effigy said: Yes, I've been playing—or, more accurately, practicing—regularly for about 1.5 years now; that's how long I've been taking private lessons on the piano accordion (Stradella system).
  
  I do like a fair amount of Those Darn Accordions' material and I've seen them in concert once.
  
  I also enjoy Dominique Rivière, Buckwheat Zydeco, DeVotchKa, Phil Cunningham, Stas Venglevski, Yann Tiersen, and Lars Hollmer to name a few.
  
  To date, my favorite accordion song is "Boeves Psalm" by Lars Hollmer. It's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

  Well, effigy, I kind of drifted away from it when I went to college. Though I still have my original instrument. :-) Do you play regularly? And further, are you a fan of Those Darn Accordions?

  What is it about accordions?!
  
  Welcome to Wordie, effigy. (And thanks for involuntarily hosting an accordion discussion.)

• about 1 year, 1 month ago, reesetee said: Hi effigy. Ditto on the accordion list. And yarb, I never knew! I used to play one myself. :-)
