In this talk and performance, she discusses how she fell in love with this musical acrobat and plays two beautiful songs. (Recorded at Play@TED on May 14, 2026)

Most folks who Master an instrument don’t need to look at it when they play
That’s why so many guitarists close their eyes

– Along with being a Breezy, Warm, Enjoyable, if not Stupid Dumb film; Accordian plays a moderate part in the soundtrack of Knight & Day 🎭
