Well perhaps that is because you have missed the opportunity to enjoy this awesome rendition of Flight of the Bumblebee:

 

At one time there was an impressive version on bagpipes, but I can not seem to find it now. 😂

Impressive but I'm afraid I'm still far from getting rid of my (almost) accordion-free music library..B|

 

As for the bagpipe version - please don't feel obliged to go to a great length with attempts to find it (saying it also taking into account @bluesman's participation in this thread) ;)

 

One more thing - this is definitely a photomontage! x-D

It's OK with me!  It's not exactly music to my ears.  But if it's in the interest of science and education, I'm all for it.

Youtube has just proposed me this (sorry - no bagpipes, just the accordion).

No! Simply NO! x-D

OMFG! That was truly awful!! Easily the worst thing I have heard all year. >:(

But that antique shop is kind of cool. Have not been in one that had a collection of vintage microphones (though none looked to be particularly collectable).

We were visiting the Cologne Cathedral in 2005 and when we finished the tour, there was an accordian player, playing the Bach Toccata and Fugue in d minor.  We stood there and listened.  He then went on to play part of the Vivaldi Four Seasons. We didn't have any way of capturing his playing, but I think this is the same. Unfortunately it doesn't show him playing, just the Cathedral.

This is Bach indeed but why do I (almost) see those guys dancing to it.? ;)

 

 

BTW I very often tip street musicians, except from the ones playing a certain instrument..

(I'm serious x-D)

This made me smile yesterday.  The UK commentator for the 2021 Eurovision song contest made a comment asking if anyone had wondered what happened to Orville the Duck, then said "unfortunately it did not work out well for Orville, Kateryna Pavlenko (singer for the Ukraine entry) is wearing him tonight".

 

For those not from the UK, this is Orville the duck, he was very famous back in the day:

This is Kateryna Pavlenko doing her thing:
