My Dad with Accordion

Comments Off on My Dad with Accordion

Today (Feb. 20) I went to visit my parents who live in Yokohama.   Last time (February 6) I visited them, we were busy talking about my trip to Davos, 70th birthday of my late husband,etc.,  and I completely forgot about my Dad’s accordion.    So this time, I made sure I asked him to play it for me.

Dadacco2 I had known that my Dad won the third prize when he was in highschool and my  Mom had told me that he played well.  But I never had a chance to hear him play.  He did not play for several decades, until he managed to buy the used accordion (very fancy one) while I was in the U.S.  studying.  I had seen very nice Excelsior accordion in their living room lately, and I asked him to play.

He played several songs –chanson and Latin–that I am very familiar with.  It was wonderful to hear the live accordion and it was obvious that he was having fun.  I loved music and I felt how wonderful for 89-year old to play accordion and enjoy it!   He encouraged me to start it myself and let me hold his accordion.  I am not sure when I would get around to do it myself, but I thought it would be wonderful to play the instrument.
