Very interesting!

My grandfather used to play the accordion. I never heard him play, though. Sadly, he sold it on a rainy day.

I have a lot of musical people in my family, but they spent their childhood being told they weren't good enough to make a living at it, so why bother?

I have feelings about that.

Yes, their calling has been crushed. It may lead to depression and other kinds of suffering, even in the next generations. This is very sad.

Huge accordion fan myself and not sure I can blame my German heritage for that or not. Donna the Buffalo puts the accordion into roots rock for me. The best bumper sticker I ever saw? I love accordion music and I vote!
