Random Chatty Day: Accordions.

Other Random Chatty Days:


Hello, hello! Today is a...
Random Chatty Day!
Today's subject is about accordions. 
Accordions are the root of every instrument joke in comics and movies. Their sound is different, strange, and, if you use it the way I'm thinking you would, really, really bad and screechy. That, and most of them are very brightly colored. 
I mean, who wants a red, white and blue accordion?
Not me. I want a normal looking one. 
Pink!!!!!!!!!!
I'm kidding.
Anyway... Back to the subject at hand.
But, if you use it right, it sounds really cool; pretty even. 
Today, I'm just going to ramble about accordions and maybe say something smart about them once in a while.
The accordion was invented in 1822 by Friedrich Buschmann, who lived in Germany. 
I like accordions because they are instruments. If you know me, you know that I love all of the instruments, saxophones and bagpipes included. 
Some people mix up concertinas and accordions.
Why?
Because they both have bellows. And buttons.
The difference is that that 1: the accordion is bigger. 2: the accordion has a piano on one side.
The accordion is a good instrument for a multitasker.
You know, because you have to play the piano, press the buttons, and work the bellows.
I know, crazy.
If you want to find a good accordion player, go find Weird Al Yankovic. He's really good and really funny.
Real accordions cost from $100 to $4,350. Crazy. I'm probably never having one.
But if you can, good for you.
Well, folks. That's it!
Here's some advice: if you have a accordion,
USE
IT!!
I'm not kidding. Use it. Like I said, I don't have one. If you do, and it's just sitting in a corner somewhere, unused and unloved, I'm mad at you.
If a friend of yours has a accordion, get their permission and 
USE
IT!!
It never hurts to ask.
And the worse they could do is feed you to sharks. Or raise your taxes...

If there is a topic that you want me to cover, let me know down in the comments. It would be so nice hearing what you are interested in.

Goodbye, and God bless.

Lyrics to the hymn, This Is My Father's world

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

Lyrics to the hymn, Sweet Hour Of Prayer

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
