Comment:

As I am an accordion player myself (yes, that's me in the picture) and songs with accordions in them just make me happy, I decided to make a mix of songs that all have accordions in them. The title comes from this comic.

A worthy project, your Holiness. Uncle Violet was a pilot, and there ain't no pretty girls in France.

As someone who plays in a band with two accordian players (we do get government subsidies for that) I appreciate a good accordian extravaganza. Check out Bendrowski's Turban by Royal Fingerbowl for another great squeezebox tune.
