May 23 2024 - Accordion vs Ukulele?

 

Google has decided it is accordion day.  It was National Buy an Instrument Day on May 22nd, so this seems to be sort-of related.  Accordions have their own day - it is May 6th - the day it was first patented in 1829 in Vienna.  Accordions also have their own month - National Accordion Awareness Month is June.  

In comparison to other instruments, accordions don't show up as easy at anything.

Ukuleles are the easiest overall instrument to learn - I've heard that's not the case for tuning them.  Next comes the harmonica as easy to learn. Piano/keyboard is considered the easiest instrument to scale.  And drums are the easiest instrument for beat masters.

 I wonder what "beat master" means. One answer: "Defeat enemies by tapping to the beat."  There are a lot of video games.  

Burt probably it is referring to the app where you can create your own beats and samples.  

 Maybe accordions are celebrated today because they have so many Guinness records - someone played accordion for over 75 hours. There's the largest accordion - eight feet tall.  

 And a thought - what about accordion and ukulele duets?  You can listen to a few on youtube.

We're far ahead of the normal blooms this time of year.  I saw daisies in a field last week.
