‘Accordion Uprising’ Blog, Vancouver – Canadaby Rob Howard |
 Bruce Triggs, from Vancouver, BC, Canada, has started up a regular accordion discussion blog at www.AccordionUprising.org He'll be posting mostly for a popular audience about the general squeezebox/free-reed family. He's working on a book on the topic, mostly about Anglo North-American squeezebox history. He's interested in why the accordion got left out of rock and roll (and the blues and most jazz), tracing that back through American popular music starting with the instrument's appearance in minstrel shows in the 1840s. The ‘Accordion Uprising’ will also cover music – "classical to punk rock" – from his Accordion Noir radio show. Accordion Noir has been broadcasting for some four years, with old shows available on-line in case you've got a few hundred hours to spare. For further information email: accordion.noir@gmail.com |
