For our man Walker here’s a sample of the pastoral life by the contemporary Sicilian artist Salvo Caramagno (still with us as far as I know). Some people feel a sort of folk nostalgia associated with accordion music and accordion playing in general. I feel no shame in trying to evoke some emotion related to an idealized (“finto”) past, say playing Beautiful Dreamer or Amore Mio non Piangere. Just sayin’
