Geez! That’s just how I feel after tangling my fingers over an awkward passage of music!

Interesting! (at least) one of the ladies shown in the picture was probably modelled for by Lili Elbe, Gerda's trans husband.

I didn't get any gigs in places like that.
For our man Walker here’s a sample of the pastoral life by the contemporary Sicilian artist Salvo Caramagno (still with us as far as I know). Some people feel a sort of folk nostalgia associated with accordion music and accordion playing in general. I feel no shame in trying to evoke some emotion related to an idealized (“finto”) past, say playing Beautiful Dreamer or Amore Mio non Piangere. Just sayin’

The more I immerse myself in Carlo Ferranti's (1840-1908) quaint Campagna scenes, the more I'm tempted to snag me a Castagnari Magica squeezebox. It's as if my inner folk musician is time-traveling for a jam session with Ferranti's stylish peasants basking in the Italian sunshine. A far cry from my usual backdrop of bracing Highland blizzards. Talk about a cultural and weather-induced head spin that oddly feels just right!
