Hi Greg,
Glad you piped up. I agree with the suggestions youve got about playing the bass side. Also I was instructed to spend some time playing the bass side ALONE. This gets boring pretty fast, but it does help. I agree with Rick, that perserverence is the key. You are not doomed.
I live near Lawrence Ks. I've found that people in this area love and respond to this music when they hear it. Drop me a line if your interested in getting together for a jam sometime. --Tommee
Thanks again for all the input. I'll try to be a good student. Already tried the green candle as stated above but it made the house smell really bad and the wife made me toss it.
Tommee, glad to hear that you are so close, relatively speaking. I dont think I will be ready for an accordion jam in the near future but would be thrilled to be able to hear you play and could probably do some guitar backup if it was ok. Will hook up on the email.
