How can I help improve the image
of the accordionist?

You can help improve the image of accordion players. How?

• First and foremost, admit openly to being an accordionist. (This is especially true if you happen to be very beautiful, very handsome, very rich, very popular or Michelle Pfeiffer.)
  
  
• Threaten a lawsuit if they won't allow you on American Idol.
  
  
• Have a picture taken of yourself playing the accordion. (Get a good haircut first and a new outfit.) Put the picture on your refrigerator and frame it on your spouse's desk. Give copies to loved ones as gifts for Christmas.
  
  
• If your children laugh when you get out your accordion, ground them.
  
  
• Write letters threatening to boycott television shows that portray accordion players in a bad light. (If they portray them at all, you can be sure it will be in a bad light.)
  
  
• If you are a geek, cut it out.
