True Love (And Other Embarrassing Realities)

I was waiting to play the other night (actually waiting on my brother, Glenn, to show up, as he was thirty minutes late to the gig. Luckily it was very laid back) and I stared for a moment at my beautiful Scandalli accordion, Gino. I realized how much I love that thing.

For as long as I can remember, I have had a more intimate connection with my accordion than with any other instrument I play (or relationship for that matter, ahem, haha). When I move, it moves with me. It is pressed close to my body and I can actually feel the vibrations of the notes. Yes, I suppose I love it. And it is always there for me, in a constant state of waiting for me to pick it up and do our thing. That lovely chunk of celluloid, wood, and aluminum has stayed by my side through cross-country miles, flights, bands, relationships, parties, gigs, wine, music, songs, tears, living situations, cities, and heartache. Oh, little accordion, you're the best friend I've ever had. xo

My girl's name is "Brown Sugar." Only one that has been as true to me as I have been to her in every single way. Plus, she's extra curvy in all the right places. =)

As an accordion player for years (though not of your caliber--don't practice nearly enough), I understand completely. Many years ago, a friend and I were jamming and I was playing keyboards, but then decided to go with a song on the accordion. She said that she saw a transformation when I started playing it rather than keyboard. To me, it was and is coming home.

It seems like being an accordion player wads something that is really close to your heart. Well, this is not a surprise for me as I can feel that there is more that you can offer. I love the fact that this article was something that you likened with trust love. I guess, all of us have done crazy things for love. We just have to do something stupid because we can be proud of ourselves. As long as we do something for love and possibly regret it afterwards, at least we have tried doing it.

No matter how attractive a profession we choose, we all have to face it when our preferred career path fails to cater to our emotions (I'm talking about love and relationships). From snooping through the search history of your significant other, to seeing how many names populate your mutual friends' FB friend list — you're bound to see some stuff you'd rather not know. Whether or not said access is appreciated, I've learned that there are a few ways social media can impact relationships. We talked about Facebook's impact on breaking up in one of the last posts, so today I thought we could talk about another social network that can affect romantic relationships; Instagram. At first glance, it makes sense that Instagram could have an effect on relationships just like Facebook. But unlike Facebook, Instagram has an overall lovelier vibe due to its user perception. However (and I'm sure by now you've guessed where this is going), there's a lot more going on behind the scenes than meets the eye...
