I started playing when I was 4. My accordion was so big that my dad had to carry it around for me. I don't even remember what kind it was now, but it was huge, couldn't even see my whole face over the top of it. It was white mother of pearl and black. That's all I remember. I quit playing when I was in the 7th grade and switched to the piano and the clarinet (in band). Still had the accordion until we had our fire Dec 30, 1967. Lost everything.

LOL, in my case, it was lost coordination and manual dexterity!

I can't play anything that needs fingers anymore. Kind of sad, so much joy, time, effort and money, all gone. Oh well, now I color for fun.

Kazoo? yep, and a jews harp, a harmonica, and the jug (but that's Jessie's department).

The strangest thing of all, I ain't got no rhythm anymore!

OK, y'all are killing me here!

If you came to my house we could have a concert!
I'm pretty sure I have Flygirl's accordion, Nappy's Hohner 64 chord chromatic harmonica, several kazoos, a few bamboo flutes, pan flutes, recorders, and various other flute type instruments, and a giant keyboard that I am set to throw out the window when I do a drive by on the teen college style stepdaughter because she keeps leaving it here!

Seriously, I come from a musical family, but MS hasn't done me any good in improving my playing skills. I used to enjoy playing, but now it only frustrates me. I need to quit saving all these instruments, and hoping I will regain the ability and just get rid of them!

YARD SALE!!
