JAN 13-Playing Instruments

Prompt: On this day in 1854, Anthony Faas of Philadelphia, PA, was granted the first US patent for the accordion. He made improvements to the keyboard and enhanced the sound. Do you play or have you ever played any instruments? If not, what's one you'd like to learn? Bonus Points today for sharing a favorite song of yours with us that names any instrument in its title.

I played the clarinet in junior high school. It wasn't my choice of instrument, but my mom wanted me to choose it because my best friend's sister could tutor me in it. Well, she never did and I didn't love the instrument and didn't do great. Basically, I ended up not even playing in high school. Would it have turned out differently if I'd gotten the instrument of my choice? Not sure, but possibly not. What was the instrument of my choice? I think it was flute, but that was 30+ yrs ago. lol

As for a favorite song with an instrument in the title...I wouldn't say it was a FAVORITE, but I like "Piano Man"...thankfully, since that's the only song with an instrument that I can think of at the moment. I'll probably be kicking myself after reading other people's answers, though. lol
