Unusual Moments
In a 1990 interview, Lewis related an incident during a live show where he saw a little girl offstage sitting on his accordion—Lewis often assigned one of the kids' mothers to watch his accordion for him when he wasn't playing it; on this occasion it was the assigned mother's daughter who was sitting on the accordion.

Thankfully, the instrument was insured and replaced, much to the chagrin of the insurer.
