As someone who once had a bumper sticker that read “Play the accordion; go to jail”, I think that there should be a national list of registered accordion players, and they should be required to notify residents when moving into their neighborhoods. (Should be one for street mimes and clowns too.)

As the Who sang for us, Beth, Mama’s got a squeeze box and daddy doesn’t sleep at night … Long live the great sound of accordion music! My Polish heritage growing up brought me to grow fond of songs that included the accordion!

Brings back a lot of memories. One of the best performances I’ve ever seen was Bruce Hornsby with an accordion and Shawn Colvin with an acoustic guitar singing “Brick House.” To use a cliche: it was epic.

I love this, and have used something similar (or this one, I don’t recall) on one of my meme posts in the past. I always hoped that the sign was a really funny joke!
Best wishes, Pete.

I might have to borrow another family and stock up. Reminds me of when I went to my first baseball game at Wrigley Field in Chicago with my dad and one of my brothers. It was Bat Day, and there was a sign that all children get a free bat when accompanied by a parent. My dad, trying to make both boys happy, found a Cuban fellow who spoke a minimum of English to temporarily become my parent so I could get a bat. 🤣
