You know, it just keeps piling on, doesn't it? Yeah, the accordion started much earlier than that. I think my first music lesson, my first accordion lesson was the day before my seventh birthday.

When I got to be 12, 13 years old, I would try to get together with friends and say, hey, you want me to play in your rock band? And they would say, no. So I learned pretty early on that if I wanted to stay with that instrument, I would kind of have to go my own way.
