Any of my regular #Accordion listeners, this account has gone full-frogs for the next six hours while we listen to the 24 hr #WetlandProject broadcast

Just so’s you know

Back to typing up newspaper references to the German accordionist and tuner I found travelling around mid/late 19th century Scotland. Have now typed up 240/276 newspaper references to him. Here is one just typed, from Selkirk in 1859. I will be writing this all up as an academic journal paper soon. #accordion #squeezebox #music #Scotland #Selkirk #newspapers

Part of a newspaper page. Here is the text of the report. "HERR YUNG's CONCERT - This talented musician gave a concert in the Freemasons' Hall here, on Tuesday evening, when he was assisted by Mr Thomas Young, of Galashiels, and Mr J. Horsburgh, of Selkirk. Of Herr Yung's abilities as an accordionist it would be difficult to speak in too high terms. His execution is as nearly perfect as can be conceived; and all the pieces were rendered with admirable taste. The delicacy and purity of tone which he produces from his favourite instrument is something altogether different from the somewhat harsh tones of the accordion in the hands of an ordinary performer. The vocal part of the entertainment devolved principally upon Mr Young, many of whose songs were well given. Mr Horsburgh was by no means so successful in his efforts as his previous appearances led us to expect, and the effect of his songs was greatly married by the feeling of trepidation from which he seemed unable to escape. The concert, as a whole, seemed to give general satisfaction, and we have no doubt that the impression produced by Herr Yung's performances will ensure for him a much larger audience on his next visit."

Ah, didn’t see this since my #accordion hashtag sweep doesn’t trawl Pixelfed

Should figure a way to do that

Nice one 1930s maybe?

You do not mention whether the film has #accordion in it

I just watched Peace by Chocolate which has some nice touches in the soundtrack by David Bertok and is up on #AccordionBandcamp

He plays & in the orchestra
https://davidbertok.bandcamp.com/album/peace-by-chocolate-original-motion-picture-soundtrack

The movie is based on a true story of a Syrian refugee family that came to #Canada and started a chocolate factory in Saskatchewan

There’s a book version in the shop where they sell their #chocolate!

Hey folks, I just bought an accordion. Used. Old. Off Craigslist. I'll post about it sometime soon.

What I'm watching tonight is The Loft (2014), directed by Erik van Looy, starring Karl Urban, James Marsden, and Wentworth Miller. It's an erotic thriller I guess? I seem to remember something about it when it came out but that was in the before times. Is it good? It lost money...

After that, Frances (1982), directed by Graeme Clifford, starring Jessica Lange. It's a biopic. A tragedic biopic about Frances Farmer. Here's the link.
