Scan a room in Lou Zanardi's neat and modest house, and you'll find the clues of his lifelong love affair. Pages of music lie on a table, and protective red cloth hides a rectangular-shaped object in two of the rooms. The tables and shelves are populated with snapshots of Zanardi, family and friends, and in most of them, he's hugging the telltale bellows across his chest. His love is the accordion.
