 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending June 15th 2001 included information concerning an Abba tribute concert that featured an accordionist, Botelius, backing a Marilyn Monroe impersonator who sang Elvis songs! Coincidentally, Benny Andersson of Abba, who wrote most of their hit songs, has gone back to his first love – being an accordion player!ACCORDIONIST PERFORMS AT ABBA TRIBUTE – USA The ‘Bjorn Again’ tribute to ABBA will be held on June 22nd at the Roseland Theatre in Portland, Oregon. This show has played 1800 times in 43 countries so far. Accordionist Miss Cybelvis Monroe (a Marilyn Monroe impersonator who sings Elvis Presley's hits to the accordion) will open the show. Cybelvis "breathes" out Elvis' hits as Marilyn might have, with crimson lip-curls and hip-shakin' shimmies. Botielus backs her up on accordion and sequencer, with surprising interpretations of familiar songs, like ‘Blue Suede Shoo-shoo-pee-doos’ and ‘Dancing King’. |
