A young couple is walking down one of the ancient, narrow, crowded streets of Naples. The young woman pushes a baby in a buggy and is carrying two big bags of groceries. The young man? He&#8217;s playing his accordion.  For those of you that do not know, the accordion is a musical instrument with a big voice. It is not easy to play, you have buttons on one side, keys on the other, and a bellows in the middle. It is an instrument that does not really need accompaniment, a one man show.<\/p>\n<p>Once upon a time, Neapolitan street minstrels wandered the streets, playing Italian music to tourists. But today&#8217;s Italian youth would rather play heavy rock, or rap.  There are still street minstrels all over Naples, but they are not Italian. They are probably <em>clandestini<\/em>, or undocumented persons.  It seemed strange to me at the time that the beautiful music known the word as being from Naples is played now by gypsies and Albanians. I imagine in their hearts they are Neapolitan and their children will be Italian. <\/p>\n<p>This is a 9&#8243; x 12&#8243; watercolor painting.
