Buckwheat Zydeco is a right-hand man


Buckwheat Zydeco isn't the only accordion player who concentrates on playing the squeezebox's right-hand keys.

"When I play, I play the piano notes," he said in a recent interview. "I've played keyboards all my life. The accordion seems ... almost easy. But when you play the one with the 120 buttons -- man, that'll give you the blues!"

His latest album, Jackpot!, came out last summer, and now he's on the road. Never seen him, but I'm guessing he puts on a pretty good show.
