A record collector died šŸ˜æ in a house on my way back from the šŸš² shop where I had to go to get my breaks fixed

Stuck walking, I treated myself to ice cream then got some of his books on my surprisingly pleasant trip home

Also stopped at #MassyBooks, which you should visit if youā€™re in #Vancouver

A memorable haul!

@AccordionBruce Wonderful! Here's to #AlanLomax true folklorist & historian.

I have a mock feud with the memory of Alan Lomax because he didnā€™t like accordions

Had a lot of fun with that in the chapter on American #FolkMusic in my book

Dearly wish I couldā€™ve interviewed him to find out what the hell was up with his instrumental prejudice

Iā€™d have many good questions going back to the 1930s, including one about a suspicious ā€œworst jazz bandā€ he saw at a Polish picnic (which might, or might not have had #accordion, but I bet you a dollar it did) šŸŖ—

Thereā€™s more great stuff in that chapter. It was probably the most fun to write.

@AccordionBruce OK,OK,..I've ordered the book šŸ˜€ , but I feel I should have done so much earlier, just based on that awesome cover... #AccordionRevolution

If you didnā€™t order it direct, I hope to put together a ā€œSwag I include with books I sellā€ package, šŸ“¦ with stickers and a big postcard of the missing picture that got accidentally left out of the book while it was being designed šŸ˜æ

(I only discovered that when I went to my first reading and was flipping through to show someone my favorite photo, and there it wasnā€™t šŸ˜±)

But, now I have these lovely postcards, which look better than it would have in the book šŸ¤ 

If anybodyā€™d want that

I did a couple of animations of the book cover design process

Hereā€™s one showing many images that helped inspire the cover

Then thereā€™s another one that shows the actual evolution of the cover design itself from early sketches to the final design with various color changes in such

Evolution of a Book Cover (and the Tale of an #AccordionTattoo)

(This page has so many animations it looks like the web in 1991.) Accordion Revolutionā€™s book cover by Vancouver artist Michelle Clement was unveiled back in May. Michelle worked for months oā€¦
