‘14 Years Ago’ – Accordion Cruiseby Rob Howard |
| The Accordions Worldwide news for October 19th 1997 included an item about a forthcoming cruise, Norway to Denmark, featuring two accordionists. It is good to note that cruise ships with accordion entertainers happen quite often in various parts of the world, and this must be sheer bliss for enthusiasts on board! ACCORDION PERFORMS ON CRUISE SHIP - NORWAY by Per Bolstad From October 5th to 9th, Terje Dyrkolbotn and Per Bolstad (accordionist) will perform on the cruise ship M/S Bergen which sails from Norway to Denmark. This duo often perform on the ferries between Norway and Denmark and between Norway and England. They play various kinds of music including old Norwegian dance music that was mainly composed by Per Bolstad's great grandfather (1867-1975). He composed about 800 dances, waltzes, polkas, rheinlender, and mazurkas. Many of these have been recorded by various Norwegian and Swedish musicians. She played with Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Benny Carter, Lena Horne, Dizzy Gillespie, Peggy Lee, and Victor Borge. In 1995 she was president of the FOTA (friend of the accordion) |
