Another great image, David! Thank you. I’m being serious when I say that I’m
sure that the sound of the Accordion in the midst of a blues ensemble must be
really fun and interesting. In my mind’s “ear” I can hear the blues harp and
the rest of the regular cast of musical suspects in such a group, but…I can’t
fit the Accordion, yet. Childhood memories of Lawrence Welk and polka bands
keep getting in the way. Thank you, anyway - the image is a wonderful portrait
seemingly on stage. :)
Best regards,
Peter Stevens

Piano accordion seems to be a bit of an oddity among Blues players, and on
that crowded stage I could not make him out above the others. (But, then, I
couldn't detect HarpDog, either!)
But, he's and interesting character - so, just for you, here's a close up of
him at work.

Wonderful image, David! I'm guessing that the gentleman with the------
Accordion qualifies as an "interloper"? I have to admit that I would
love to hear a Blues Accordion rendition of.... anything! It'd be a fun
experience to hear a note "bent" through the instrument! Thank you. Hope
that the "Home renos" didn't cause too many busted knuckles. :)
Best regards,

I've been busy with some home renos, and not near my camera for nearly
a week, now. When I got a few moments, I discovered one shot from the
recent Roots & Blues festival, that I'd neglected to post.
It's of the Barn Stage, again with our friend Harpdog Brown (at the
far right).
Taken with the 12~40mm/2.8 m.Zuko held as high above my head as I
could.
The stage is pretty crowded, as they had "The House Band", "The Blue
Hearts", Big Dave McLean & Harapdog, as well as a couple of
interlopers, all on the stage.

Enjoy!
