One was custom-made for him back then--and I think it was made by Roland. (Joe has been playing accordion since early childhood). |

You'd better watch your back. We scots are quite proud of the pipes.

Nothing wrong with accordion. | And here in West Texas, accordion players in tejano and norteno bands get way more love and money than the best lead guitarists. Like "I own a Prevost that I park in my front lawn in the barrio" love and money.

Bag Pipes and Accordians are way cool. I'm a big fan of Celtic folk music.
When I was about 12 I satrted taking music lessons because I wanted to play guitar. It was through a music program that made you play the accordian before they let you start on guitar. They also made you play piano. I was really embarrased about playing that accordian so I talked my parents into sending me to guitar lessons at the local music store. Now I wish I stuck with it.

Bass_Lord_Mutha, I lived in San Antonio for about 7 years & still listen to Flaco Jimenez from time to time, and have actually been to Odessa- Go Panthers!
What's up with all the coaching departures?
