26th April In 1920 Ice hockey makes its Olympic debut at the Antwerp Games. In 1954 Mass trials of Jonas Salk's anti-polio vaccine begin; the first shot is delivered in Fairfax County, Virginia; more than 443,000 children receive shots over three months. In 1966 Dusty Springfield was at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'You Don't Have To Say You Love Me', the singers only UK No.1. When recording the track, Springfield was not satisfied with her vocal until she had recorded forty-seven takes. In 1976 'Wings At The Speed Of Sound' went to No.1 on the US album chart. Paul McCartney's fifth No.1 album after The Beatles became his most successful American chart album, spending seven consecutive weeks at No.1. The album featured the hits 'Let 'Em In' and 'Silly Love Songs'.

Still think Change Of Horses is a masterpiece!! Was there a version exchanging accordion with another instrument? I think its better as it is. The accordion just gave it a very solemn rhythm.

22nd April In 1914 Babe Ruth's 1st professional game (as a pitcher) is a 6-hit 6-0 win In 1945 Battle of Berlin: Upon being informed that a planned counter-attack never happened, Adolf Hitler flies into a rage, denounces the German Army and concedes World War II is lost. In 1978 Bob Marley and the Wailers performed at the 'One Love Peace Concert' in Jamaica. It was Marley's first public appearance in Jamaica since being wounded in an assassination attempt a year and a half earlier. In 1989 Madonna started a three week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Like A Prayer', the singers seventh US No.1, also a No.1 in the UK.

Something wrong there. I never said "I like them all also" ( as supposedly "quoted" a few posts ago) because I dont! Anyway , to keep on topic , I like most of Dot Com. I love the accordion on "Gift of Roses" as its used in much the same way as on "Skating Away" to add b ackground textures rather than wheezing away as a lead instrument as it does on "Brick 2" and ""Erraticus". So "Roses", "Willow", "Spiral","windows" get a thumbs up from me. Most of the rest is ok, but "Mangos" are both dreadful. I also think its perhaps the worst album cover ever too, not a particularly good work of art and nothing to do with any of the music within. Probably what happened was my reply ended up in the wrong spot. User error. Got it, thanks for clarifying! It sounds like you have a specific taste when it comes to accordion usage in music. "Gift of Roses" seems to hit the mark for you in terms of how the instrument is incorporated into the overall sound. It's interesting how different tracks can evoke such varying reactions. And as for the album cover, it seems like it missed the mark for you as well. Everyone's got their own preferences!
