Elijah Wald’s How the Beatles Destroyed Rock ‘n’ Roll (2011) had me tracking down records for years

Can I respond sort of self-servingly about my own #AccordionRevolution book?

People have asked me to make playlists, but most of the historical recordings in my book aren’t available on Spotify

Collectors sometimes post records by #accordion players on YouTube, so I guess that’d be the best we can do

But not very satisfying

@slevelt @bookstodon @AccordionBruce @carkner

“Upvote” - I really enjoyed the book and could find examples of most of the musicians mentioned without great effort. Well worth reading and listening!

#ElijahWald has a good but 15 year old website about How the Beatles Destroyed Rock 'n' Roll 🥁

The background info is great 😎 but the “buy” links aren’t all working, so order at your local bookshop 📚 #library or better online retailer
