Dour man plays jaunty melodeon

1. Learn to play a tune on the melodeon (done)
2. Learn to smile (to do)

This at least proves that it's possible to get a tune out of the £15 toy melodeons that seem to be everywhere at the moment.

Your comments might convince my girlfriend that I deserve a real one...

My children gave me a melodeon for Christmas--to ward off Alzheimers, I think. I discovered that however hard I try, when I am playing (well, trying to play) the corners of my mouth turn down like an inverted smiley face.
