 once you feel the power of the accordion (and learn how to spell it), you will not mock.
as mr. devilla points out, the accordion requires no amplification and it fits easily on your back. additionally, it makes a highly effective weapon (i nearly removed my head once trying to spin one around my back) and accessorizes a thrift-store suit quite nicely.
go to your local pawn shop and try one out.

 My favourite joke is...
Q: What's the difference between an accordionist and a large pizza?
A: A large pizza can feed a family of four.

As for the Weird Al thing, he did parodies, whereas I do covers. So you could say that I'm covering ground that's been trod by just about every folk musician from the dawn of time. The question is: does that make it less valid, or should we all just give up and not get out of bed and try to do fun things anymore, seeing as that's been done to death?

 he led a procession of newly millionaired Slashdot founders down Broadway one night, playing Fatboy Slim on the accordion.

 Isn't this ground Weird Al Yankovic covered like 20 years ago?

 Welcome to Heaven. Here's your harp.
Welcome to Hell. Here's your accordian.

Q: What's the definition of an optimist?
A: An accordianist with a pager.

 Sloan used to be great. "Everything You've Done Wrong" is a great song. As is "Money City Maniacs". And I'm not Canadian nor have I played one on TV. I know a few Canadians though.

 Wow, I'm not even 30 yet and I'd never heard of any of those bands. Stupid NPR...
