3. If they have started running, they're just trying to get away from the sound.

4. They're distracting the humans by doing something "bad"

there's a good chance that human will have to stop squeezing that screeching box, and dole out some negative attention!



A note played on a harmonica makes these cats P.O.'d @ each other-

5. She needs to take lessons.

The buttons on the left hand side are for making chords. The right hand is like piano keys.

I read many years ago that an accordion club in San Francisco got together, and they all played "Lady of Spain" on the steps of City Hall.

They got tickets from the police for being a public nuisance.

THAT I would be proud of. :rofl: :rofl:

It starts with the accordion looking like it's going to tear asunder.

10. My aunt played the accordion and several other instruments

She basically raised me and I can still sometimes here her practicing on it during the week. It was rather beautiful music.
