It kind of blew me away when he >brought it out during the '94 TSI show. "Play an accordion, go to jail" (from a bumpersticker on a car seen parked at Point Mugu). The much-maligned accordion is something I consider to be an instrument with a keyboard... :) Yeah, I loved that part when the band did the wedding sequence. (Klesmer band-ish music makes the Jewish Gypsy in me want to get up and dance with wild abandon) (I get the same urge with Irish reels - tho I am not Irish) (HA!) I love it when Peter gets out the accordion, he either uses it as a tool of humor (OH NO, everybody run, he's going to play the *accordion*!!!), or as a wonderfully romantic-sounding musical instrument... He can really play that thing and make you forget it's "the dreaded accordion"... Then again there's the time he did "All My Ex's Live In Texas" on the accordion (a rendition that he wouldn't allow to be complete without wearing an outrageously silly straw cowboy hat, and including his own vocal - OY!) at the Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival... He told a joke once about a friend who had instructed him that a true gentleman is one who knows how to play the accordion -- but doesnt! (then he goes and plays that accordion just to prove his friend WRONG!) (or right!) (HA!) Peter is also a whiz on the harmonica... I believe he mentioned once that he has some kind of championship title... Show off! ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ Diane F.

Jimmy also was with the Communards (with Marc Almond from Soft Cell). Tho I like Marc better I own both men's CD's. Great stuff.
