Well, maybe it's a melodion, but the play on words was irresistable.
A Dougie Cooper picture from August 1977. What is the story of this picture?

Bill Sinclair senior of Braeland in South Ronaldsay. His son, also Bill, was a farmer and violinist, he taught Douglas Montgomery to play. Willie Sinclair, grandson of Bill pictured, is an accordion player and present day farmer at Braeland with his brother Jimmy, a guitar player. Dougie was a regular visitor at Braeland as were many local and not so local musicians.

Ford Cortina MkIII - my first car was a 1971 Cortina Mark III 2000GT. Common problem was they had a healthy appetite for camshafts, but in those days you expected to spend time under the bonnet keeping a car running "sweetly". All you needed was a toolbox, nowadays you need a laptop!
