Not always, sometimes it looks a bit disturbing , like he and the accordion should get a room or something...

Well us accordionists tend to get a tad bit into it so I know what you mean. Get a room you two! Al really seems to enjoy it with how into it he gets, he wouldn't be Al if he didn't that's for sure.

That's what I always found curious about accordionists... Al is self-proclaimed weird, but what's others' excuse ? You don't (usually) see people making disturbing sex faces while playing a piano or a guitar

Good question...then again didn't Gene Simmons of KISS use to stick his tongue out when playing his guitar? Of course he is just sticking his tongue out not making weird faces. Still that is a good question I just never thought about the faces one makes when playing the accordion compared to playing the guitar or piano.

That's why I added "usually"

i actually love it when performers let their inhibitions go and aren't afraid to get really passionately into it when playing an instrument. those performances are usually the most fun to watch/listen to! it's like they're completely in the flow and everything else in the world falls away while they're playing their hearts out. <3

True

I made an album of screen grabs from Al's interview with Paul F. Tompkins on Speakeasy.

Here's the interview - http://youtu.be/4XVnmwFhcoM" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


I could have made more, because he is so adorable, but here is a slideshow of my screen grabs -
