I seem to remember that WHILE playing Accelerando it was possible for me to
be rooted, BUT i could cancel the effect by stopping and restarting the
song. I don't recall it ever making you immune to root. Correct if I'm
wrong! =)

Another thing I found (to my dismay): I was really excited when I got my
Screaming Mace. I know a bard using blunt weapons may sound strange, but if
you look at the stats the Screamer is like a magical mino axe - same dmg,
same speed, hits magical, and BONUS random Strength from it's Scream/Yaulp
(I really liked this because you could stack it on top of EVERY other Str
buff - I had like STR 175 or something with a shaman buffing me, my strength
songs, some magic items, and the Scream).
Well - it all sounds good, but I found that the Screamer causes your songs
to go out of wack. When the Scream is in effect you can't sing. You start a
song and it immediately ends with no effect. So I had to get rid of my mace
(sigh).

I'll post if I find that any other items cause this effect. Also would
appreciate if any other bards have experienced anything like this with other
magical items - it would be nice to post. It was rather irritating to find
this out after getting all the required components for the mace (what a damn
annoying quest).
