I have to agree that accordions are instruments from hell together with bagpipes and most banjos (I might get beaten up for this...?!?).
But then I saw this and I have to say, I still don't like it, but I gave it a standing ovation, in my mind at least. Unreal musicianship, despite being and accordion....

Love me some squeezebox. Let it into your hearts, y'all. Also, I named my son after a bagpiper.

I used to work in a music store which sold all kinds of instruments, including various piano and button accordians. Some of the Paolo Sopranis and Hohners could get very, very expensive! Still not exactly my instrument of choice, but there is a place for them. It's just a very small place.

Now don't y'all go besmirching the good name of bagpipes and banjo.

But my hatred of the accordion likely comes down to how often I hear it blasted through car stereos at all hours around here.

Which, in truth, comes down to not AT ALL understanding the desire to pump such an instrument through an amplifier at high volume. Like...it's one step removed from a harpsichord. Come on. What are we doing here.

When I was a kid my dad couldn't get enough of Los Lobos. How Will The Wolf Survive and Just Another Band From East LA were in constant rotation, with lots of great accordion work. And in grad school I lived in an apartment behind a Latin club that would blast Norteno music at all hours. I fell asleep to a jamming accordion most nights for years. I learned to love the accordion at an early age.

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

I also deeply love the harpsichord...

Nils Lofgren did some nice work on Neil Young's Unplugged album with one!

 

[Stickman393]

I would like to formally apologize for mocking the accordion.

I think I just don't like listening to brief snippets of other people's music loudly radiating from cars. Which is yet the latest revelation in my journey to realizing that I am getting old.

Now get off my lawn.

Guys, he said that all the hype is true. ALL of it. Should've tacked on an extra grand with all that true hype.

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

Not Clist but plenty ridiculous. I was having a memory lane moment looking at pics of a roland bc60 (my first gig sized guitar amp probably 1998ish) when I thought it would be fun to find and use some of the unique knobs that it had on the next pedal I box up. Then I was like... nnnnnope.
