accordion pin

Extremely bad photo of a pin I received after participating in an accordion competition at the Long Beach Civic Auditorium in 1963.

Remember mom drove me down - I was only 11 - and we had to run from the parking lot to the stage because we were late.  Knocked out a version of "Cielito Lindo" to die for - literally.  

This was extremely traumatic to a kid my age.
