WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Armed with squeezeboxes and patriotic scores, hundreds of accordionists serenaded lawmakers and bystanders on Capitol Hill Friday. They're part of the American Accordionists' Association Annual Convention & Festival, which lasts until Sunday.

Besides organized concerts and impromptu jam sessions, participants can attend workshops such as
"Earning a Living with the Accordion."
