June 1st: National Accordion Awareness Month 2016 Begins!

And so also begins our blog!

The Anything Accordion blog is kicking off our celebration of National Accordion Awareness Month 2016 by introducing the format we’ll (try to) follow on a rotating basis (probably the term, "random basis," is more descriptive) throughout the year for future posts.

• A lesson module on the history of the accordion because we figure if you know the history of something, you’ll be more inclined to understand it. In the case of the accordion, it needs all the understanding it can get.

• A brief bio of an accordion player -- famous and not yet famous. Feel free to suggest people.

• Links to some ways National Awareness Month has been celebrated in the past. Let us know in the comment section what accordion related events are on your celebration calendar for the current year!

• A link to the “song of the week” and why it’s notable -- or not. Comments welcome!
