Re: Octa Clark - You Can't Go Wrong...

Oh Yeah
Octa Clark, saw him years ago at Mulates in Breaux Bridge, LA. Old man sittin on a chair and playing the "you know what" out of that squeeze box. Just a smiling and winking at the young (60 yr old) women who would gather round the stage and flirt with him.

It was just too cool. The next week I showed up at home with an accordion. My wife said "what are you gonna do with that". Told her I had years to learn how to play it because when I retire I want to be an accordion player at Mulates and flirt with all the old ladies. "Just like Octa Clark"

Also told her she would be welcome to come and watch, because if I was lucky enough to catch any of them women, I would not know what to do with them except talk about my accordion.

Seriously, Octa is the reason I bought my first accordion. Workin on my song list now!!! (Still got a couple of years to go)
