Before I read this thread I had never heard anyone cite accordion playing as such. My accordion was quite expensive, and notwithstanding is one of the more humble models, so I've never associated them with beggars/gypsies. This stereotype is new to me.

The accordion may be expensive but the family as a whole isn't. There have been times where it was less than remarked upon.
However accordions (in various forms) are the engine behind tango, and I once saw the lead singer of the prodigals shred a button accordion like he was eddie van halen.
I have to say, after reading this, i'm inclined to find out about lessons. Portability makes a word of diffrenece.
Oh an excellent points by the way, Loose lips. Your contributions are nothing short of lung paralyzing.
