It was nice at least to HEAR him. Anybody else agree with me that we don't hear enough of Al just being an accordionist?

Yeah, I totally agree. It's nice to hear other instruments in his songs, but most recent albums have had very little accordion in them

What if Al did a CD where all of his songs were done just with the accordion? You know like acoustic albums bands do. I think that would be pretty sweet!

That video was funny. The fact that Al was completely hidden the whole time was hilarious to me. The part where the guy who's filming thought it would be cool to bring along a box of Kraft dinner so that he could show it to the camera after they sing that line - :lol: - what a complete dork! :lol: But the best part of the video was the group of the three little kids dancing in front of the stage. :lol: Also, I love how the Barenaked Ladies always talk about random crap in between the verses of that song whenever they perform it live.

I enjoyed the part with the dancing kids as well. At least there were the other pictures of Al and the accordion so we could visualize him behind the speaker.
This means something. This is important.
