Scaramucci: Just like the corny ‘Squeeze Box,’ Donald Trump continues to bellow & bray!
Former White House Communication Director Anthony Scaramucci recently said, “It’s a big Tell when Donald Trump does ‘the accordion thing’ – that is a frightened Donald Trump! When he tells you how great he’s doing in the polls – that is a big Tell for him. That he’s frightened, frustrated & lying.”
Next time, watch when Trump does this at the Rallies: His arms go in & out rapidly just like he’s playing the accordion!
I’ve never been a big fan of the sound of an accordion, but I did notice other people listening & dancing to it. Oh sure, I polka’d once – but I lost my big toe! And no, I don’t want to talk about it!
To a lot of people, the accordion is ‘a funny instrument’ – corny & a little gassy. They say it’s easier to learn if you already know how to play piano & close up an Umbrella! haha
And, if you already know how to play the Tuba – you shouldn’t even attempt it! It’s like marrying Cousins – it’s great the 1st week – but the Family Reunions are murder!
As a child, I remember my brother tried taming the beast. My poor mother was livid – it took him a whole lesson just to get the Straps on!
Accordionists in many countries have a long history, but in the U.S., long before a Lawrence Welk – the first real accordionist star was Dick Contino from California.
Contino got his first break when he played “Lady in Spain” & it became his theme song – albeit ad nauseum to the delight of budding Comics. Nevertheless, it was a showstopper & he was on The Ed Sullivan TV Stow 48 times! That’s more than Ventriloquist Senor Wences! haha
Lawrence Welk followed & his TV Band Leading success made Middle America happy on the dance floor or cozening up on the couch with Grandma. I never watched it myself, but my friends say it was good Birth Control!
A big shout-out to today’s top accordionist, Cory Pesaturo from Rhode Island – a 3 Time World Champion who performed at the White House 4 times!
Melania says that’s 3 times more than Trump!
Sorry, I couldn’t resist! heehee
Cory Pesaturo
My brother? He gave up the Accordion & took up the Bagpipes! Best decision he ever made – Mom never requested “Lady of Spain” ever again!
“A gentleman is someone who can play the accordion – but doesn’t!” – Tom Waits
