A little Rick Steves in the neighborhood

(This is only an audio clip. Push play and read the post below)

I love all kinds of music and musical instruments, however the accordion was one instrument that I could never really figure out.  I always thought the accordion was a random forgotten instrument that should have been left in the attic.  The sound of it conjures up memories of watching the Rick Steves' European travel show on PBS.  I can picture him sitting at a seaside cafe in a small European town sipping his coffee and listening to the street musicians.

Well, we have our own street musicians here, and the odd thing is I really enjoy it!  On a number of occasions I have seen an middle aged man and his son walking up and down the neighborhood streets gracing us with their music.

Pretty neat!
