Accordion, Instrument of the Gods

This 1950s comic shows how playing the accordion will change your life

This 1950’s comic book advertisement is pretty much my life after May 1, 1999, the day I first took the accordion out on the streets:

I’m pretty sure that “no cost” promise is akin to the old “9 albums for a penny” offer from Columbia House. It doesn’t matter — the accordion is a worthwhile investment!

Thanks to Natalie Brahan for the find!
