Ellis had a document on his computer where he wrote a small paragraph about his accordian:

While in College, I decided that it would be good for me to learn to play a musical

instrument. The instrument of choice became an accordian, since I was still an itinerant

student, it would be difficult for me to move around with a piano. I selected this Cruccinelli,

began lessons and had a great time. My lessons and practice only ended after I moved

into an upstairs apartment,since the other tenents really didn’t appreciate good music. I

continued practicing at any opportunity I found myself in a secluded area. During this time,

I quickly learned to transpose music to different keys and when in church services was

able to play in a limited way. I did play it when we sang at water baptismal services

outdoors.
