First off, I want everyone here to know that I HATE reality television. But late last night my wife starts yelling for me to wake up and come downstairs into the living room. I run down because I think the house might be on fire, God forbid. But she quickly informs me that someone just came into the pawn shop on "Beverly Hills Pawn," with the original accordion from the Vegas scene where Fredo surprises Michael with the little party. You know, the "for he's a jolly good fellow" scene.
Anyway, the do some background checking and actually authenticate the instrument as the original. And after a little haggling, the owner of the shop, a cool Israeli dude named Yossi, who looks just like Telly Savalas on "Kojak," buys the accordion for 26 thousand dollars. Not bad for a day's work.
