When Playing the Accordion Is Cool

The accordion is something of a latecomer as far as woodwind musical instruments go. It originated in Germany in the early 1800s, but was quickly adopted throughout both Europe and the Americas. When growing up, I knew a few kids who (usually pressed by their parents) learned to play the instrument.

But most kids in my era drifted toward guitars and rock and roll. Let’s be honest, nobody thought you could rock an accordion.

Well, we were wrong about that. To prove it, I’ve posted a short video of Vivaldi expressed on the accordion.
