Am I the only one that thinks accordions make women look HOTTER!?

1. Actually, those are some pretty hot accordian players

:)

[Blue-Jay]

4. I know!

Actually, I was going to post a picture of Tina Fey in the "glasses" thread, and saw that pic of her with a typewriter. A quick google search later, and I had a nice copycat.

[LynneSin]

2. I love accordian music and I know how to play a bit of accordian

my mother was an accordian player. I use to practice on her accordian

[ashling]

14. Your screenname should be

LadyuvSpain

:rofl:

[unpossibles]

3. I prefer the concertina

it covers up less. }(

[XNASA]

5. You know, I'm a trained accordianist myself.

Which explains a lot.

[Blue-Jay]

7. We should record Lady Of Spain at our next basement session.

[KitchenWitch]

6. That first photo looks more like a typewriter!

:P

[Blue-Jay]

9. Yeah, I know.

It's Tina Fey, and that's close enough.

8. Mama's got a squeezebox

she wears on her chest
When daddy comes home,
He never gets no rest....

[unpossibles]

16. huh. when I was a kid, I thought he was singing "cheesebox"

which is kinda gross.

[suninvited]

18. When I was a kid

my mother would turn off the radio as soon as that song came on, because she said it had connitations. I didnt even know what connitations meant....

[unpossibles]

20. haha... that's pretty funny.

welcome to DU, btw!

10. The only woman accordion player I know of is Judy Tenuta.

But those ladies pictured are quite attractive.

[XNASA]

12. What about Vlasta, the Polka Queen?

Have you forgotten Vlasta? :(

[terrya]

13. Dammit...I DID forget Vlasta!

Right you are. :-)

[Taverner]

11. Gah! You sexist pig!!!

:sarcasm: how dare you comment on the physical appearance of a woman with an accordion!

[conscious evolution]

15. Heres another to drool over

[Susang]

17. How can this thread exist without a picture of the Goddess of All?

JUDY!!!

[Blue-Jay]

27. I stand corrected.

Judy makes my pants feel funny.

[billyskank]

19. I did once have the hots for a girl who played accordion

it's true.

[blockhead]

21. What's the difference between an accordianist and a large pizza?

a large pizza can feed a family of four.:applause:

[billyskank]

22. I'm sure that's a drummer joke with a quick modification

;)

[tigereye]

23. it's all that musical skill, isn't it? ;)

playing drums doesn't seem to have the same effect... :cry:

My husband was watching some Arcade Fire vids, and that woman who plays the accordian ( and also plays the organ, was attractive and talented.)

[Blue-Jay]

25. Which organ?

A Hammond B-3?



Booker T loved those.

(You thought I was going somewhere else with my post, didn't you?)

[asthmaticeog]

24. You need Big Lou the Accordion Princess in your life.

[Blue-Jay]

26. I'm sure she has a nice personality.

:yoiks:

[greendog]

28. You missed one!

Maria Kalaniemi
"In three recordings on her own (plus side gigs too numerous to list) and in the concerts I have been lucky enough to hear, accordionist Maria Kalaniemi has proved herself a phenomenal technician, a sensitive player with an unusually vibrant, physical approach to the instrument, a strong composer and a vital interpreter of other writers. She has toured the world, introducing us to her brand of "newly composed folk music" from Finland, and has handily thrown the term "folk" into chaos as she and her fellow musicians push into pop, jazz and art music in a way that makes the music impossible to categorize."
