Al Di Cicco on accordion at the rally

Here's my buddy Al performing his cabaret hit, Stardust. That's Suz Doyle reacting to his advances. Accordions rule!

Yay Al! How much was that tip?

Hi everyone, Ahem......I tried my best to bribe Steve to withhold this evidence, but he would have none of that. What are friends for anyway? At the moment I'm reviewing Los Angeles public decency codes to find out whether I'm trouble....Now you know the danger of inviting me to play accordion in front of an audience. Don't worry though, my wife safely locked it up and won't let me have it back until I start recording later this week.If accordion taught me one thing, it's that I need to be able to take a joke and make a joke!This Rally was a great experience for me and I am SO GRATEFUL to have spent my weekend with so many fun, intelligent, gifted and genuinely warm people. I also won't forget the two KILLER jazz pianists who played for us on Saturday, Mazz and BombayCharlie. All I can say about them is WOW!Suz - I'm using your tip to buy a book I'm interested in. It's called "You Too Can Develop Accordion Etiquette". Thanks again for being such a great sport!Best wishes,Al "The Bellows" Di Cicco
