I have a vivid memory of my grandfather, accordian in hand, leading 30+ people in Christmas carols during a brutal Buffalo snow storm. We marched from house to house singing as if our lives depended upon it. Just about every neighbor invited us inside to warm up and have a drink. Can you even imagine inviting 30 wet people into your house and boozing them up? Can you imagine Christmas carols with an accordian? 
I can! My mother, believe it or not, used to play the accordion. Loved your story!
This photo is absolutely magnificent!! The colours, the clarity, the contrasts, the composition (that's a lot of 'C's…) not to mention the subject. Just beautiful! One of my favorites on here. I'm so glad you found it.
i think this photo is absolutely and great for full color, happy Holiday.
