Accordion Round 2

The accordion player returned for round two today at my job. He set up in the same place, right in the middle of the lobby and played for about an hour. The difference this time was that his return wasn't out of the blue. His good pal Mr. Torino gave a notice to the concierge and we were telling residents all day about his performance. I enjoyed it a bit more the first time, maybe because I noticed some of the songs were repeats. It was still nice to hear him play.

Good ol Mel asked if he would play for parties and Mr. Torino said "If he is available, he would love to come." Sounds like Mr. Torino is his agent. The performance would be free of charge, which is very generous. It is nice to see someone enjoy playing their instrument that much, it brings me back to the days of high school band. Also, because playing requires constant compression and decompression (which creates the sound), it looks as if he is dancing along to the music.

His Bell accordion is black and has his name in bright silver letters printed alongside the keys.
