What's the difference between an accordion and a puppy?

(With apologies to Flaco, who really can make or break a song)
Answer: nobody complains when you cut an accordion in half.
Unless, of course, you belong to the Connecticut Accordion Association, which is trying to indoctrinate our school children into believing that the Devil's tool is a musical instrument.
(For an inspirational demonstration of the American story, see Buck Owen's obituary here. From sharecropper's kid to innovator with the electric guitar to multi-millionaire radio /TV broadcast owner, the man inspired at least two generations of musicians: peers like Merle Haggard, and youngsters like Dwight Yoakum - another great success story. Is this a great country, or what?)
