This week's #StupidAccordionTrick dates back to over a quarter-century ago... from folkie weirdo #DanBern, who wrote a song every day, here's his memorable #Jerusalem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lmdz4YeE0-8

Today's #StupidAccordionTrick is Peter Guindon's "Sandwich Artist", long a Creaking Planks staple (if not exactly original to us, you weren't going to be hearing anyone else performing it.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrz9qXf7fgg

In truth, #humour is highly subjective... anyway, here's my #StupidAccordionTrick of #CorkyAndTheJuicePigs' epic genocidal ska jam of 1992, #Pandas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBvJ0CoPDwA
