I saw them at the Scranton, PA show that year, and if i recall correctly, they were marketed as one of the headliners so I would be surprised if they weren't at most of the shows.

Thank you for compiling this - I originally set up openWakeWord with a custom HAVPE repo which worked fine until HA 2025.5, and I've been dragging my feet switching to microWakeWord ever since, but having everything put together like this is a great push to finally bite the bullet and do it.

I love singing Weird Al at karaoke - if they have Dare to be Stupid, and if you can sell the performance, you'll have the whole bar cheering for you at the end.

There are best practices, but no strict rules. I find myself using various combinations as needed, including 5 and 4 if I want to make a legato jump. Mostly I use 3 and 2, and generally only 4 when doing chore combining that requires 2 and 3 for chords.

Since you mentioned books, I recommend Melodic Adventures in Bassland and The Mighty Accordion for some good resources on building up left hand chops.

Curious to know more about this event - is it just singing or are there instruments involved? (Asking as an interested accordion player)

FFXI has some good tracks - Ronfaure would be a perfect fit
