i think i can safely say that the one purchase i will never regret splurging on is my record player. it makes me so happy and i love looking for new albums at the thrifts to add to my collection. i have quite a proclivity for picking up records solely based on their cover - you can blame this blog - and i've lucked out that most have been in decent condition.
i actually drooled over la bella italia on project thirty-three awhile ago, so i was pretty happy to stumble upon it last week. and let me tell you, it's fantastic. quite frankly, i'm a nut for the accordion, but this album really is perfectly cozy, romantic, nostalgic and beautiful.
ciao!
i'll be on the lookout for this one! i love accordions too. i didn't know jive had a blog. crazy. it's a cute little record store not too far from our house.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw that it was in Seattle, I wondered if you'd been there or knew about it. Oh, Seattle... one day.
DeleteI like your animated gif. This accordion album reminds me of the scene in Mad Men when Joan plays her accordion and sings to impress her hubby's boss at their dinner party. I also just remembered that Peggy Bundy played the accordion too! Lovely red heads with accordions! Nice post :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amber! I love when Joan plays the accordion! And good call with Peggy Bundy. I need to dye my hair red and learn how to play.
