Subject:Re: WAYYYYYYYYYYY OT! My Mom's accordian band!

Norm,

An 86 year old Mom who still is alive and kickin' and jammin' on the ole squeeze-box?
You are one lucky dude my man! And your Mom is awesome! Tell her she has a fan from The Motor City and I look forward to more tunes on her MySpace.

As a accordian player myself I am always a easy mark for accordian music.

By the way, there is a super great jazz acordian cat in the metro detroit area named Tony Dannon who is in his upper 80s as well. Maybe your Mom has hear of him. In the 60s he owned Modern Accordian Studios that had 2000 weekly students! He is still teaching today, although he will only take on about 5 students per week, and a couple of years ago he "allowed me" (as he put it) to join his student list. I stayed with him for about a year just so I could sit with him once a week and jam. The guy is so good it is unreal!

And by the way....is that your voice I hear on the "HEY" screams on Det Er Polka Som?

Bob

OK, my Mom is a egomaniac musician like we all are. I put together this
MySpace site for her a while back and her Scandinavian accordian trio is
quite good. They just recorded some new tunes and she thinks her "friends"
aren't listening to it! I guess she saw all the hit's on my site and feels
left out. I created a monster!! She is 86 years old and the first music I
ever heard was her accordian when I was in the womb. I am very grateful for
this introduction to music!
If anyone has the time or interest maybe you could go to her site and click
on her songs and she'll see that her new music is a "hit"!
I can't believe I am doing this. Gotta love the internet!!
