That was always an instrument that kinda scared me. It looked way to complicated to be able to play. Piano keys on one side, and a whole bunch of buttons on the other side. I love the sound of the accordion though. :)

Wow! That's a duo that I don't think I can even imagine. I'll have to see if there are clips of it on youtube.

It's probably similar to people who stutter, still being able to sing. (is stutter now considered politically incorrect?)

 MD> Sometimes I sit down to play, and several hours goes by without me

Do you have any recordings that you can share? I'd love to hear you playing.
