Happy National Bandoneón Day! [If you happen to be Argentinian...]
Forgive the esoteric reference, dear reader - bandoneón is merely the local version of what we know as an accordion. Not normally an instrument of interest, given its corny association with buskers, fiddle bands and gypsies, nevertheless it has been a contributory factor to quite a few choons of which we are very fond.

...and - I really cannot believe I have only ever featured this all-time house fave here at Dolores Delargo Towers once!
[Every time we have a house party, this one of the mainstays on the playlist - as our whole gang does (or attempts to) do all the dance moves along with those lovely Pierre et Gilles models...]Squeeze that box, folks!

ReplyDeleteI'm quite fond of playing a well-polished bassoon, as well! Jx
DeleteI can hear - and see - why that Lamur one is a particular fave!
ReplyDeleteThe phrase "camp as tits" comes to mind - always a draw... Jx
DeleteThe accordion is an instrument that can bring joy as shown in your very clever selection.
ReplyDeleteHow ever in the wrong hands it can bring untold misery to millions.
There are plenty of "wrong hands" among the buskers along the paseo in Benalmadena! Jx
