"The subject of accordions comes up…"

I just got an email from my friend Karen B., who wrote in response to the invitation to my party this Saturday:

Also, I met an old friend of yours… as we’re hoity-toitying around the National Club, the subject of accordions comes up, and the woman I’m speaking with says, “you don’t mean Joey Devilla, do you?”

The woman who asked turned out to be an old friend of mine from high school.

My question is: How does the subject of accordions come up in a “normal” conversation, especially at a snooty private club?
