Article about Accordion Appreciation Month that mentions Al.

That's interesting. It's talking about this Allen guy and then it briefly mentions Al and then it goes back to Allen a bit too suddenly. Oh well, at least he got his name in there. They had something good to say about him.

Probably the best time of day to practice the accordion is when your family is gone.
No respect. Not even during National Accordion Awareness Month.
I'm just glad that quote came from Mike Allen's wife and not from the lips of Mrs. Al Yankovic.

Wow! A whole month to celebrate one of the most underrated and fantastic instruments in the world....the glockenspiel!
Just kidding, of course, it's the accordion. That's awesome!
Underrated? According to
http://www.accordions.com, it's not that bad. Yay!

I am deeply saddened to announce that
we all missed the Ms. Accordion San Francisco Pageant.
It was on Saturday.

The swimsuit competition was probably quite a sight to see.

That was a neat article and a good mention of Al. Now if they would interview him too that would be cool.

Long live accordions!!
But they should have made National Accordion Awareness Month in October to coincide with our favorite accordion player's birthday!
I was going to say that I'd observe it by listening only to Weird Al songs that have accordion in them...but I don't trust my memory on some songs. Does a list of instruments played on all Al's songs exist anywhere? Probably not, but just thought I'd ask.

In case anyone forgot -- yes, I'm resurrecting a 2-year old topic -- it is once again Accordion Awareness Month.
I guess we should ... um ... be more ... aware ... um ... of the ... accordions around us?
The same guy quoted in the Ms Accordion San Francisco pageant is interviewed again for AAM (from today's SF Gate):
SF Gate article
Keep polka-ing! And keep an eye out for any accordion music this month ... preferrably a certain WAY album?
