W6KME@tsherrygeo @ai6yr Reminds me of the time I left my clarinet on the seat of my car. When I got back, I found a broken window and two more clarinets.
Eric the half-a-beeSurely you mean the Accordion, Banjo or French Horn (impossible to play- ask me)…
@Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo @ai6yr Would you believe I play accordion AND banjo? And I actually majored in french horn.
You know what else? I really am a hit at parties 😂 👍
Paul_IPv6@W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo @ai6yr
add bagpipe and i think you win. :)
@paul_ipv6 @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo @ai6yr Helll, I BUILT my personal set of Scottish smallpipes. And played in a competition pipe and drum band for years.
@W6KME @paul_ipv6 @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo LOL W6KME is a ringer... (professional musicians, lol)
@ai6yr @W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo
wait a minute... you can get paid money to play accordion, banjo, bagpipes, or french horn? since when?!? :)
@paul_ipv6 @ai6yr @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo 😂 get paid...that's funny
I have indeed been paid to play banjo and bagpipes, but never accordion (but I knew a superb accordionist I could call for jobs, Noni Chaffin.)
I quit the horn after a bicycle accident in 1979 and transitioned to tuba and trombone for my career.
@W6KME @ai6yr @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo
i'm just an amateur but the best paying gig i got as a banjo player in a bluegrass band was a free dinner, 1 free drink, and 1/4 of the tip jar (about $30 i think?).
didn't quite cover the cost of parking in downtown SF for the gig.
Viss@paul_ipv6 @W6KME @ai6yr @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo lets get weird al on mastodon so he can explain how he got rich playing the accordion
@Viss @W6KME @ai6yr @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo

Luck, persistence, talent combined with work ethic on writing clever material for an audience he understands and appreciates, being a really nice guy to everyone around him, and never paying too much for an accordion (he told me he buys his on Craigslist) 🪗
