Oh Lori, I can well imagine you were flooded with memories when looking through all the music. I know you can learn this accordion. If I can learn it...so can you. :)
And I might tell you ...48 bass accordions are wonderful. I have been looking for one to purchase...but have not so far. They are very unique. Especially since this one is your Mum's...it will be all the more special. I hope you never part with it. Please let me know about some songs you might play or would care to play together.
