View attachment 260002
And to ameliorate this, I'll follow up with one of the finest exponents of the instrument :)
My sister in law lives in zurich. I have a pic somewhere of an accordion with a slash thru it like a highway sign. there's also an urban legend of a dinner party where a couple left early and then the police arrived. Apparently the couple that left felt they were too loud. maybe it's me but the swiss r kinda anal.

Can u play? A friend does the whole nine yards, kilt and all. I tried the mouthpiece thing (it has a name but idk) and couldn't make sound, 15 mins trying. In college, some guy was playing one winters night and I was cross country skiing nearby. Northern lights were out, I kid u not. Glorious! it may have been the shrooms.

I tried once, made an awful racket. They are indeed glorious when played well but an indoor instrument they are not.

We were at a gathering this afternoon at on of our little town's two VFD stations, and this was served.



... sometimes the jokes write themselves

EDIT: I realize that the availability of clean, canned water can be a great boon at times of catastrophe, so it's admirable that A-B does this -- but I found this really amusing. I must confess that my immediate response was along the lines of "Finally, truth in advertising!".
