While waiting...

While waiting for my Weilmeister to arrive from Bulgaria, I've been working on getting my reels up to 113. This vid is far from perfect, but I'm playing the reels a lot faster than ever before. Just took a lot of practice.



Tomorrow night I'll play this reel set with Chenille accompanying on the piano and the girls dancing at a nursing home gig. Hopefully I'll get a vid.

purchasing from overseas

well, my experience with purchasing on ebay from overseas is not working out so well.

I purchased back on 4/23 and I have not seen my item yet.

Paypal provides purchase protection for 60 days, so until 6/15 I can file a paypal claim and hopefully get my money refunded.

Lessons learned: don't buy an item without a postal tracking code. If you can't track it you'll never know if you are going to receive your item.

PSYCH!

ha!
the tracking code I received was for something else -- not an accordion... the weight (4.2 K)should have tipped me off...

it's almost here!!!
