: A tall thin man in a gray suit comes to my
: door
:
: with accordion keys for teeth
:
: He smells like a salesman
:
: His lapel pin reads, “Milton Mann Accordion
: Studios.”
:
: He pulls out a 120 base Contello Accordion
:
: Silver with red keys
:
: Stretching out the bellows
:
: angels fly from between them.
:
: His hair is a raging fire of notes
:
: F sharps twirling up in smoke
:
:
: “ Here Kid!”He hands me the Contello.
:
:
: It covers my body like a partial eclipse
:
: I pull out the bellows and squeeze
:
: Notes fly from the reeds like startled birds
:
:
: “You are a natural kid.”
:
:
: We sign on the dotted line
:
: He smiles
:
: Shakes my hand
:
: and walks away carefully as not to
:
: trip over his tail.

: Ok Ok - that was the Chedranian national
: anthem and we are wearing the traditional
: chedranian army garb. danny's brother Rick
: is in the Rocket and Danny is playing the
: Trombone. The accordionist is the daughter
: of Milton mann (of the Milton Mann Sccordion
: Studios) and sister to Brian Mann the studio
: keyboard player from Loggins and Messina
: etc.- the rest is historical
: the new SAC recording is taking longer than
: we hoped - it is difficult t get our
: schedules to coincide to do the group
: vocals, which and very important. We can't
: seem to make up our minds about which and
: how many of the older tunes we recorded are
: worth finishing - i fear we will finish them
: all - i also had a computer filing guffaw
: and lost a whole tune's vocals and we have
: to do them over - the new tunes are each of
: a different genre but the group has managed
: to keep the Alarm Clock style intact.
: because we are who we are
