I love your story. I also play the accordion. But I think it is almost a lost instrument--one this generation doesn't really appreciate. I think we do because of Lawrence Welk. I started playing at 12, and was taught by an Italian young man--whom my mom did NOT trust. I chuckle about it now. My parents were missionaries in Africa, so I used it a lot in the villages to do evangelism. Then I also became a missionary in Africa and used SO much. Now I am in the States--and never use it except for my own enjoyment. And I love your block. I would call it "Happy Keys" as the accordion plays happy music.
