Remember, for best results practice in the bathroom.


I haven't been paying attention. We're still talking about playing the accordion, right?

[<Scottidog wonders if she should mention that "Since You've Been Gone" doesn't have any accordion or any instrument on it, for that matter. Accapella, ain't it? Ahhhhh, multiple Al's singing in perfect harmony!!> Oops. Unless that was the joke? Nope, nuthin' in there. Got nuthin' in my noggin!


No, actually, all I was thinking was that "Since You've Been Gone" is less than two minutes long. Just because Al didn't play accordion on it is no reason "Obsessed" couldn't.



And yes, Catra, we're still talking about playing the accordion.

Those buttons on Al's accordion (120 of them by the way) are both notes and chords. As an accordionist, I can tell you how this works. there are two rows of just regular single notes. The row next to that are the major chords. Next to that, there are the minor chords, then the 7ths, then the diminshed chords which are on the far left.





And thats how them buttons work. and as Homer Simppson would say, "And that's the end of that chapter"
