June Is Our Month!

June is National Accordion Awareness Month (NAAM)




The parent of this blog, yona677beta.blogspot.com, was born in 2006 as a history of the accordion learning module for a Liberal Studies graduate school class taught by Dr. Marsha Paludan at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. 

Accordion-ing to All Things Accordion, National Accordion Awareness Month was "established in 1989 to help spread the word about the resurgence in popularity in the accordion and to educate people about the accordion."

So to participate, during the month of June 2016, we'll be updating and migrating information and links as posts from the parent blog to this blog. Looking forward, and on no particular set schedule, we'll be adding anything that strikes our historian/listener fancy accordion-ingly.

Even after ten years, we still consider ourselves novices and are certainly latecomers to celebrating June with the accordion world. Please feel free to comment on posts and add any announcements for June events that celebrate National Accordion Awareness Month!

Cheers!
