I remember the day Dad first brought the heavy accordion()home.He gathered my mother and me
in the living room and opened the case as if it were a treasure box."Here it is,"he said."Once you learn to

"Because you can bring people joy.You can touch their hearts.That's a gift I won't let you throw away.
he added softly,"Someday you'll have the chance I never had:you'll play beautiful music for your family.
