Quick question about music preferences

Well that would in Irish music be replaced by the bodhran.

I have one. I never play it. It's more of a wall decoration. It's probably going to stay that way.

Aw...I like those.  Then again, I like lots of percussion.
I'm thinking either the fiddle or the accordion, but not both, at least not at the same time.
Too shrill.
Plus, if there's less of you, y'all each get to pocket more money, right? 
Maybe guitar+accordion and leave it.

The accordion is a superior instrument.
It is the sound of God's own flatulence.
The accordion is, when you die*, what angels play in high heaven.
and EVERYONE becomes angels up there.



*if you don't end up in Tuscon, that is.

Hence the attraction to Tucson.  We have no accordions.

Yeah less of us means more for me. If either theresa or juan pablo played both it would be a no brainer. Thing is i consider both to be important instruments in the genre. I ll also have to plan the setlist and see which one is more important overall for the gig

Though that people have that strong a hate for accordion is something to take into account divine nature of the flatulance notwithstanding

If you were to play an Irish music set in 2 months, or were forced to listen to one, would you prefer vocals/guitar/fiddle, vocals/guitar/accordion, or vocals/guitar/fiddle/accordion?

I ask because I've basically been booked for $150 the week before St. Patrick's, and need to figure out what would sound the best, and since fiddle and accordion fit the best, and Villager lives with a violinist and I live with an accordion player who's otherwise looking for a gig as a bassist.

Accordions are evil.  There is no scientific explanation for why they work.  Have you ever seen the inside of an accordion?  Even bagpipes operate on scientific principles (the wrong side of the tracks principles, but principles all the same).

Nobody outside of Wisconsin listens to accordions without entering a fugue state (Wisconsiners are always in this state) in which they may behave erratically or even dangerously.  It is both irresponsible and dangerous to use this "instrument" in a band.

Now I'm going to have to look at accordion guts.

DON'T! He is trying to trick you into opening one! Part of what he said is true, but you don't want to release what is in there!

Spud-sucker, animal. They're somewhat synonymous, no?
