| What the...??!!! No picta of da guy? As I'm fond of saying, sometime in September, Kory puts on leather shorts, and I don't see him until Thanksgiving! Then he becomes "thumbstruck" again. |

| My hero. Talented and an all 'round swell guy. Great article, Kory. Hope you & Jack have fun with Paul's brother's accordion. |

| Eh, Aunty! I wen try'um, but cannot do anything on a piano keyboard except find a "C" chord. The box has good compression, good smell (important, if any mold, the box is landfill) and good response. Just have to make sure Jack gets his quota of schnitzel and red cabbage to fuel further musical excursions. The Leavenworth Accordion Celebration was a blast-- good music, good folks, good grinds. I even played some ki ho'alu for some of the guys. |

| It is always humbling for me to take up a new instrument. Playing the accordion is like rubbing your stomach and patting your head AND chewing gum at the same time. It'll be a while. The right hand isn't much of a problem 'cause I play piano, but - AHWE!!! - the left hand is tough, and I'm a lefty! It keeps the old brain working, though. Mahalo again for sending it my way. |
