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.

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.

There are plenty of "wrong hands" among the buskers along the paseo in Benalmadena! Jx
