[@Kassarock] Well, uh... I certainly appreciated it? The level of delightful mania is such that I can't be genuinely sure whether the guy is just working an act or truly present in the story he tells. But I can't deny this is the most entertaining performance/interpretation of Teddybear Picnic I have ever listened to. This is a guy I am going to look up later also; the manner in which he affects losses of self-control on his acordian is too deliberate for him to not at least be an excellent player.

For my inaugural presentation in this thread I'd like to share a piece that is very near and dear to my heart. I've had several moments in my life where someone shared a piece of music with me and it completely opened up my way of thinking about music. In almost every situation it also fortified my belief that people who think there is no good music have just stopped trying to find it. The person who shared this piece with me has had a lasting impact on my life such that even though we haven't talked in years when his birthday shows up on facebook I am transported back to the [i]fourteen months[/i] that this song was my wake-up alarm.
