If you could have lunch with the accordion player of your choice, who would it be and why?

If your husband was not already in the music / performance field, would you have had the same passion and devotion to accordion music?

Great questions! I’ll have to send some more folks over here to take part.
I just got my author copies yesterday. The book looks beautiful. University Press of Mississippi did a wonderful job, every step of the way.
Looking forward to more probing questions :-)
