Geek-box prodigy

I must confess - I have a strange fascination with unlikely music being played on the accordion (really, any instrument that just seems to clash with the idea of the music, like Star Wars on a harp or on bagpipes, but I digress). Now, normally, I would keep this fascination to myself, but I enjoyed this video so much, I had to share. This is an amazingly wonderful rendition of one of my absolutely favorite pieces of music ever, Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor.

Enjoy!
