2. Do I have to get rough?
I will if I have to.


Is it difficult compared to, say, guitar? And piano accordians vs button accordians?

9. What the difference between an accordionist and a large pizza?
...a large pizza can feed a family of four.

6. I have a hispanic friend from Mexico
who plays a mean accordion. I play the guitar, and another friend claps at appropriate intervals.

He really is good.

8. Looks more like piano keys
He told me some stories about his family in Mexico, and they all play instruments. A family of Mariachi's. He picked up his current accordion at a yard sale in a nearby city a few years ago (Yes, a yard sale!), and couldn't be happier. It may not have been as good as what he used to have, but damn, does he have some fun.
