Count Guido Deiro – Father of American Accordion Exceptionalism

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qjXdL1u8Xo]

From Wikipedia:

Throughout the teens and well into the 1920s, Guido Deiro was a dominant voice of accordion. As Guido Deiro showcased the piano accordion through his vaudeville performances across the United States, more and more people were introduced to the instrument, the popularity of the accordion increased. In 1928, Guido was featured in an early sound film, Vitaphone #2968, titled GUIDO DEIRO: The World’s Foremost Piano-Accordionist. He appeared as an accordionist in several other motion pictures, such as the musical Shine on Harvest Moon and the Carole Lombard comedy The Other Man.
