 After an absence of 8 years, the Jon Hammond Trio returns to Smiley's, Schooner Saloon and Hotel, Bolinas CA, on Saturday July 10th, 9pm. With organist and accordionist Jon Hammond for an evening of funky swingin' jazz and blues music at the historic Smiley's location are Barry Finnerty – guitar, and Jon Otis – drums. The California Historical Society lists Smiley’s as one of only fourteen bars in the state to be in continuous existence for over 100 years. The saloon is believed to have been built in 1851 for the energetic young Captain Isaac Morgan. Captain Morgan arrived in Bolinas (or Jugville as it was known then) in 1849. Those were gold rush days, days of growth. Those were days when one gambled with one’s dreams and then watched them either shatter and splinter or be crafted and honed into realities.

In 1985 Ivan Stanojlovic started his accordion manufacturing company in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. In the 1990s Ivan Stanojlovic made many trips to italy in the pursuit of the best quality materials and assemblies for his accordions. Soon it became clear that there could be no better place to craft accordions than the town of Castelfidardo in Italy, the accordion capital of the world. In 2005 SIWA was reborn in Castelfidardo under the name "Siwa & Figli di Stanojlovic Ivan". Each Siwa & Figli accordion is entirely hand made in Italy with the best quality materials.
