Hi GbH I thought that you might enjoy this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsn2I47kCsQ&feature=related

I discovered this clip the other day of the legendary Finnish accordionist Lasse Pihlajamaa. I have one of his albums of straight performances and it's excellent.

Here's a nice Bio and interview with Lasse that includes a few anecdotes of his humorous performances.

Many thanks for that, Chris.  You're right - I really enjoyed that.  It's very much the sort of visual humour that I fiind appealing and clearly a very well thought out routine.


I've not had the chance to read the interview in full yet, but that looks to be a good read too.  I've already noted that he stared out with a diatonic instrument!

First catch your bellows! makes the debate about the number of bellows folds on a HA114 a bit academic.
