Okay, time to come out of the closet. I'm an accordion player. And I have been for well over 50 years. It was the first instrument that my parents invested in for me. Plus lessons. For hard working immigrants, I'm sure it was a tight squeeze to get the bucks together. Sorry I didn't show more appreciation at the time.

After a very long hiatus, I've been playing a fair bit lately. And, yes, it's fun. And, yes, I'm getting back most of my skills from “the old days”.

And, here's a nice pic (and story) about my best squeezes.
