John Childs is a known accordian playing unicyclist. I don't know if he's the first.

*Someone has to learn to play the accordian while on a unicycle.
Would the be the first accordianing unicyclist?

No, because there was an unicyclist in Austria playin accordian on a 7' unicycle, while idling 1ft extended AND balancing a broom on the extended leg. I think this was on the show of the EJC of 1996.
*ohhh thats sweet, do you have a video? I cant stop thinking about that now. So can you wheel walk while accordioning?

Wheel walking while even just wearing an accordion would be difficult because the accordion adds a whole lotta weight up front. I wouldn't even want to try it. Too much risk of falling off and damaging the accordion.
There are smaller accordions that weigh less and those would be more manageable and easier to ride with. The accordion I have is a big one. Bulky and heavy.
Playing an accordion is easy. Playing it well is more difficult. 🙂
I know Yoggi's learning to play the accordion... what I heard last time we met was quite good. he probably aims to clear a 5m drop with feet on crown while playing the "Amélie Poulain" soundtrack😄

Threadjack: JC, I would be interested in hearing which accordian players you consider to be "tops". In return for your response, I'll make sure you experience some fine accordian solos on the Sennheisers.
