A Day In The Former Life Of Les

[CandidPicker]

Maybe it’s her, and she ran off to Argentina heartbroken that you moved away?

Nope, likely got remarried and watched flying cows over the castle wall for a while.

You've never heard the limits of music until you've experienced Those Darn Accordians' version of Rod Stewart's "Do You Think I'm Sexy"

 

[László]

I’m not sayin’ I made this recording when I lived in Moscow in 1901...

Who has more fun, accordion players or guitar players? Guitar faces are angry and crazy. Accordionists are smiling because they’re having so much damn fun!

Makes you realize you took up the wrong instrument, doesn’t it?

I don’t care what anyone else thinks, that is legitimately Bangin’! and totally badass.

While everyone is goofin’ on Les, I’m gonna flip the script and post another banger, technically not an accordion though..

It’s like Return to Forever with a squeeze-box.

Perfect. There are not enough ways to say this should receive a myriad of likes.

Lo-fi has an indirect correlation / effect on minimalism. What are you thinking, Les...is your main squeeze doing something else this evening?? Sorry for the buzzkill. Les, hope wifey isn't waiting at home with rolling pin this evening...

Astor Piazolla is the man, and also the only accordionist whose recordings I ever bought.

I took the precaution of hiding the rolling pin.

I think I can say the same. The few Lawrence Welk albums were already in the house when I was born.

My folks had their own little accordion player (me), so they could request live accordion music whenever.

Which. They. Did.

However, the payback they got was very loud combo organ and guitar when my brother and I got to be older than 12. We couldn’t even hear them yelling at us to turn down the volume. It was like looking at two very angry pantomimes.

Seems you adjusted, but the parental units didn't realize what they had gotten themselves into. Congrats and a virtual Martini toast (with root beer and Maker's Mark instead).

In the world of accordion, Les is more.

In the world of Les, one accordion would be more than Les has.

I should probably take this opportunity to announce that I changed the strings on my acoustic today, after an embarrassingly long time elapsed since I last did so.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

What people watch on TV in Hell.

Then again, one man’s Hell is another man’s...you know...I of course have this on an endless loop.

What?! They’re playing accordions, I didn’t notice!!

Again, what instruments?!

Les Schepplin!

 

[Tremontinator]

I don't get it. I get the Garfield clip but, who's Les? I was thinking Les Paul

 

[Boogie]

I don't get it.

And that’s ok.

That song is playing in the restaurant literally when I opened this thread. Nice trick!
