Lawrence Welk!!!! Does anyone even know who that was? My son's godfather was a regular on that show as a kid as Johnny Holiday! I like accordion music that is peppy, and love to dance a polka! I saw Chris Isaak in concert a few days ago, and he brought out an accordion player, that was fantastic. Chris Isaak still sounds amazing. Lyle Lovett, not so much. I saw a bumper sticker once that said, Play the accordian, get a special place in hell! I think a lot of people don't care for it. 😁

You’re such a… such a… Sassenach! 🤣 ROFL! Do I redeem myself if I say I love a pipe band? Absolutely! 😄

I grew up listening to Lawrence Welk at my grandparents house and my uncle, who was much younger than my mom and still lived with my grandparents, played the accordion. I used to love sitting and “playing” with it. They also had lots of records in the basement and we would always find the one with Roll Out the Barrel and play it and dance around.

There is a band called Seo Linn, one of the band members plays the accordion. This is their brilliant version of Óró Sé do Bheatha Bhaile. m.youtube.com/watch?v=bzXswoAUi0U

Have we all forgotten about Weird Al's accordion prowess?

Lawrence Welk!!!! Does anyone even know who that was? I can still hear "Bubbles, tiny bubbles" from when my great-grandmother used to watch it.

We had two accordions play at our wedding and I loved it!
