I'm sorry, I didn't mean the 'rabid' part. I certainly shouldn't because my ancestry is partly Scottish.

And yes, hearing "Amazing Grace" played by bagpipers was enough to bring tears to the eyes of the "Ladies From Hell" marching into battle in WWI. Those tartan-kilted Scots whipped the fire out of a LOT of Germans.

But as for accordian music, some of my earliest childhood memories are of Lawrence Welk saying, "An a one, and a two, and three", and then 'Calcutta' would start. Oh, the horror....:)

Funny, that people think of the Lawrence Welk Show when accordians are brought up. I just think of my dad and Grampa George tearing it up Scottish-style. They were actually pretty good and I'm really mad at my dad for getting rid of my grandfather's accordians. He had three of them and truly loved playing for his grandchildren.
