Accordion Featured on Mad Men TV Show - USAby Harley Jones |
 |
 Mad Men is a TV show on amctv, USA. Recently (3rd episode of season 3), the show had office manager Joan Holloway hosting a dinner party where after prodding from her husband, she pulls out her accordion and sings “C’est Magnifique.” It turns out that Christina Hendricks, the actress who plays Joan Holloway is no newcomer to the accordion; she’s been playing for a few years. In an LA Times Magazine interview last month, she talked about how she got into the accordion. “I started taking lessons four or five years ago. It is such a rich instrument for one person. You can get so much out of it, like a one-man band. I also think it’s a very romantic instrument, and it channels all the things I love—French culture, Tom Waits—and all the things I try to make my house look like. It’s something I’ve always been interested in.” |
