Dwight posted these great memories on his Facebook page . . . . . . . made for me by Flaco’s presence of course!

and of course it led me to this one too an old favourite written by the man who joins the boys here Buck Owens but how much does the background layering of Flaco’s accordion make this wonderful song!

“The way I learned to play the accordion was on the wild and happy side, much like Cajun and Zydeco music. One of my early idols was Clifton Chenier. The way he played, it was like the accordion was yelling at you: hey, take this. I like to make my accordion yell and scream and make it happy.”
