Accordion to our records...

Many of you will not watch this video in its entirety. That's ok. But here's an accordion solo that you should take less than two minutes to behold. Accordions fascinate me. They're like a medieval torture machine/fire maker that makes beautiful noises. A good name for a band would The Rusty SqueezeBox. I think this video shows that you shouldn't pigeonhole accordions. They can do more than play the lead to the chicken dance. They inspire oompappa in all of us-that's a given. But tell the accordion that's all they got and they will stand up and smack your mouth. So if not for me, please partake of this sizzlin' squeezin' for our veterans. You owe them at least that much...
