Italian theme parties are very popular especially with Italian American families. Reunion picnics are an especially effective use of the accordion because of portability and no electricity. And there is no better "party" instrument than the accordion. I also do birthday parties where I visit the home and sometimes even surprise the guest of honor. Here is a working list of songs, but not limited to these selections. If you have a favorite, please make it known well before the event so I can learn it.
