DevTeach2004 OT : An Accordian in the City

I never bring technical materials to read for pleasure at a conference.  I mean, if I'm not overwhelmed with technical input by 5:00 PM, then I'm at a pretty crappy conference.

But I've found the perfect after-hours and between sessions activity: bringing my accordian to conferences.  I mean, the accordian is the perfect instrument!  Rather than extol its virtues here, I'll share a pic of my Italian-made, vintage 1942 Grand Voxx taken in my hotel window.  An Accordian in the City.

Those things are laud, I am surprised they let you play in a hotel.

Nice view of the Sun Life building. Did you know that during WWII the British Royal Treasury was stored there? They didn't want Hitler to get his hands on the jewels in case he defeated England.

I know its loud. One of the things I love about it. But I played very quietly. Truly.

Thanks for the WWII trivia. If I keep living here I might even start to take an genuine interest in that nutty place up there.

You play the thing, at least spell it correctly: accordion.
