ACCORDION

When I was thirteen, looking for any excuse not to admit that I could play the accordion, looking for any piece of information that could help me understand how to attract the attention of boys, Ross Watson told me accordion playing was simply not done by people under fifty.  So I only played for others, my parents when they begged, the Power Morning Crew on Power92when my little daughter woke me one morning to say she had promised them I would play and they would be calling right away. 

 

How fine it is, now that I am over fifty, to hold my head high and play the accordion to please myself.
