Here's our man!


This is the accordion player who entertained us in Little Italy last night at the annual "Taste of Little Italy" festival. It's a wonderful event and I really recommend it. You pick up a pass and then move from restaurant to restaurant, getting a little sample of something tasty at each long the way. And if you're really lucky, you'll get some live music, too!



I mean, really, have you ever seen a live accordion player? Especially one who was totally into what he was doing? This is "Smiling Jack: Showman Accordionist." This guy would do slides onto his knees, swooping heartrendingly across the room on them, gazing soulfully upward all the while as if that cheesy sound were almost too much for his already-full soul to take.

It was marvelous.
