| Why wear normal shoes when you can wear accordion shoes? This Danny Mesél is asking as he is preparing for a new show with the Kaboca Puppet Theatre, in which he will be playing all kinds of homemade instruments. Danny is very hopeful, that he will be able to learn how to walk in time for the premiere on December 1st. We hope so too and that he might want to sell these new shoes to the diatonic accordion community after the show? |
