Signed too ✍🏼

Wonder how much it overlaps with this ten CD set of his I found on one particularly good 🪗 record shopping day?

This matching historical #tango set may have been near some French musette compilations too

Lots of #accordion to add to the @accordionnoir playlists that day

Pretty sure we’ve played every track from that album on @accordionnoir radio 📻

Including the 3rd and 5th of our multi-hour #drone #accordion episodes

@Owlor @catsalad
So when I learned Bill Monroe invented #Bluegrass at the same time be-boppers invented modern #jazz… 🎷 🪕

But one music still projects as “modern” while the other has an aura that’s more and more antique and folkloric

Monroe’s mom played #accordion and was a really good fiddle player, and as far as I can tell, no interviewer ever asked him about that 😠

(The key question? “What kind? And what repertoire?” Because a button accordion would’ve indicated an older tradition)

@matthewskelton @Theosoreass @catsalad
They gave Spencer Tracy a Hurdy Gurdy in Captains Courageous

Which is funny, because Kipling features an #accordion in the book, set contemporaneous to its 1897 publication

We can guess the era because the rich kid’s dad is a railway magnate and steams over to pick him up

No no, @nicheinterests and I used to boost every organic mention of the #accordion on the other site

Personally filtering tens of thousands of bots pushing accordion blinds, doors, books, and any number of other non-musical uses

Making #AccordionMastodon a thing has been a goal since we arrived

It’s started to pick up lately

There’s still far fewer players promoting or talking about their work

@anja is an inspiring exception we met here 🪗
