Re: Double Straps--Ain't Cajun?

Hey Alexander,

Two straps may not look "cajun" but if its any comfort the accordion is not "cajun". We "adopted" it back a few years ago. Like everyone says, nobody cares what it LOOKS like, its the sound that gives us the warm fuzzies.

I play with two straps(one over each shoulder) and center my thumb behind the keyboard. Been playing like this since 85 and I'm passing a good time.

Bon Chance
