When Missy's parents came down from Pennsylvania, they brought down her ACCORDION. The accordion - a BERNELLI - belonged to Missy's Great Uncle Joe and he loved her so much that he passed it on to her. Needless to say, the instrument is in beautiful condition. The only things that need to be replaced are the leather straps, which had worn away with use and time. There's no telling how many Polish polkas were played on that thing!

Accordions are cool! (I have one.)
(That was me.)
...AND you live in Pennsylvania! It must be a "Pennsylvania thing". I would love to learn to play that thing...not master it, but just to be able to play simple melodies and some accompanying chords...
I would love to play like Buckwheat Zydeco...
Alas, my accordion is sitting in its case, pretty much unused. I didn't use it at all on the new album. :(
(That might be a good thing, I don't know.)
