Even if you don't know the songs - with the exception of Beer Barrel - they all have only 2 or 3 chords - you can play along on chords only. 

 

You can bring a chair or stool or music stand if you like. Then - you can stay for the evening competition and concert.

 

Thank you all for participating - we have had a ball in the past - and hope to surpass last year's number of over 35 accordion players.
