Mr. Irene began studying the accordian when he was four years old. By the time he was a pre-teen, he performed regularly in juried competitions.
Suburban Chicago, February 1969. Mr. Irene poses with the same accordion that he plays today.

Irene,I love all the photos. I love family snapshots. I probably have hundreds that I need to scan. I commented here because I used to play the accordian when I was about the same age. People laugh at me when I tell them! After one performance at my father's lodge which caused me to be so nervous I threw up all day in anticipation - I said goodbye to my accordian career forever. Your blog is charming. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Deborah! Thanks for visiting. I appreciate your kind comments about the blog. I enjoy posting the photos; the accordian is a big part of Mr. Irene's life.
I'll see you over at AA or Ravelry, too!
Come back often.
