Accordion cool ?
This player makes the accordion pretty cool. Lawrence Welk would be proud.

Accordion came up not too long ago and someone posted "Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room (She Wore Red Dresses)" by Dwight Yoakam. Kinda blew me away (too bad the girl in the song suffered the same fate). I haven't heard an accordion sound more appropriate. Dwight credits Flaco Jiminez here. Banjos get made fun of as well, but in the right song, they're awesome. I'm not sure if I'll ever hear a good bagpipe song, though. Their best use might be limited to funerals...

And now to break into discussion groups and compare and contrast.
I'm more a bandoneon Astor Piazzolla type guy, but the accordion really gives me some cool indoor 1970's shopping mall muzak vibes!

Saw this vid when it came out 8 years ago and never forgot it
As for Tom Waits meme, I believe that is fake. Tom Waits is almost #1 for me and there is accordion all over his best albums https://richardvonbusack.medium.com/its-time-to-end-the-tom-waits-meme-now-2797ce953b2d

How about that the internet is a weird place, such a bizarre thing to miss represent, and further proof not to trust anything.
It does sound like something waits would say in jest in an interview or something, seemed believable

yea does sound like something he would say - if I ever run into him, I will ask him :-)
Lots of good accordion music out there - Paul Simon, Pogues etc...

Years ago, my dad went through a Tom Waits phase. I don't think I ever heard any. But many years later, I somehow stumbled across some Tom Waits, and fell in love with his music. It's not for everyone, but I enjoy it.
