AccNoir-2010-09-15, Accordion Noir Festival III with foul language episode!

(That's just the kind of accordionists we know I guess. Not for the faint of ear. I'm not sure why all our swearing songs got played tonight, maybe it's our later noir-er time-slot? You can broadcast these in Canada if you warn people and it's late-night, and artistically valid or something. Be warned, only listen at night. Also, come to our festival, it's gonna be fun!)

It's the 2010 Accordion Noir Festival!
September 19-26!

Events all week! Kick-off Parade on Sunday the 19th!
Bring Your Accordion!

See you there!

AccNoir-2010-08-18, Steve Jordan, ¡Vive!

Steve (Estevan) Jordan (1939-2010). He was not the Hendrix of the accordion, he was the Steve Jordan of the accordion. Like no one else. (And he didn't o.d. after only three albums either.)

[Please note: The 2010 Accordion Noir Festival is in two weeks! From Sept. 18-25, with squeezy weirdness all week! Check www.SqueezeboxCircle.org for more info. Pardon this interruption in our regularly scheduled notes.]
