You know I said I'd look him up and I did. I think the only thing I might have ever seen him in was the video from years ago when he was doing a fat parody of maybe Michael Jackson. I did watch him play the accordion, and I guess if he can play an accordion good enough to get me to watch his video, he does indeed have talent. Not my cup of tea, but then again that's what makes the world go around.
Good to hear!
Same. I saw Al in the mid-80s, and again a few years back where he played nothing but his originals. Dude is a major talent. To dismiss him as a novelty act is a cheap knee-jerk response. Novelty acts rarely last 4 decades, and he is, by all accounts, a genuinely nice man.
Going to suggest that it is called acting. If you had to look like the person you were playing, it would sort of limit your selection.
You beat me to it. Exactly what I was gonna say.
