| Despite the fact the Stockport Accordion Club meeting venue, Woodley Methodist Church is still closed due to Covid19, club members have been holding Zoom internet meetings on Wednesday evenings each week. This gives members the opportunity to keep in touch, swap news, have plenty of laughs, play solos, and even have a short band practice. Thank goodness for technology! Last week’s pieces were the Amboss Polka, Metsakukkia (a waltz from Finland), and Besame Mucho. Players are looking forward to when restrictions are lifted and they can all meet again in person! |

_Questa vecchia fisarmonica - Un tributo a Ilmar Kuljus per il suo 90° compleanno - USAby Susan Graham |
 Video: "Northwest Profiles: Accordion Icon" utilizzato su autorizzazione di KSPS PBS, Spokane, Washington USA. Pubblicato il 31 marzo 2016.Fondatore: Il mio amico Dan Grauman ha scritto: "Ho ricevuto un'e-mail da Susan Graham, moglie di Ilmar Kuljus. Non so se conoscete Ilmar. Era l'insegnante di Patricia Bartell, così come i campioni della AAA Sam Thomas (2007) e Gabe Hall-Rodrigues (2010).". Ho letto questa bellissima storia e in un momento storico in cui il mondo ha sofferto molto per l'orribile distruzione del virus della vita e degli affari, sono scritti come questo che ci ricordano i creatori di questo mondo, persone meravigliose, piene di sforzi umani, amore per la musica e l'educazione. Assicuratevi di leggere: This Old Accordion by Susan Graham -------------------------------------------------- ----- Susan Graham scrive: Il 6 giugno è il 76° anniversario del D-Day (6 giugno 1944) e il 90° compleanno di Ilmar. Tutti conoscono la storia del D-Day, pochi conoscono la storia di Ilmar. Quando gli dico che deve scrivere tutto, dice che nessuno sarebbe interessato, che la sua storia è la stessa di quella di tutti gli altri immigrati. Mi permetto di dissentire. La storia allegata è il mio tentativo di registrare gli elementi principali così come li ho ascoltati. This Old Accordion by Susan Graham |
