Chris,
Naw, I was joking about throwing in the towel. I didn't think you were showing off or anything like that. I love the music and my accordions too much to stop playing around.
I like the reinforcement from others who can relate to what these boxes are about, whether they play better or, hopefully not, WORSE than me! :)
Thank you for being humble about your skills.
Thank you for the love bridge waltz lessons on you tube.

Well put Chris. Helping each other is what keeps this music alive and carrying on. It frustrates me when some musicians don't want to teach or help others.

Funny that Chris would criticize that playing, the rest of us just go "wow".

But it is for that reason videoing yourself is such a help. You see things you didn't realize you were doing. And for those of us not able to play with other people much, it very closely duplicates the nervousness that comes with playing in front of other people.
