J. Busso, Jr. (right) has become a partner in the firm of Ernest Deffner,
Inc., which was founded in 1934, according to a statement issued by
Faithe
Deffner (left), who heads the well-known company since her husband’s
death in 1971. Busso has his degree in Business Administration from

of Education and Sales.
Frank Busso is the accordionist with the United States Air Force Band,
the group which often plays at official functions at the White House
in Washington DC, and he brings a wealth of musical expertise to the
firm. His accordion studies began with his father, noted accordionist
and educator, Frank Busso, Sr., Director of the Staten Island Music
School in New York, and he continues to play in The Busso Trio, a
family group consisting of his father, sister Christina and himself.
Faithe Deffner said, “Our firm plans to expand its educational
activity in the accordion field and Frank will be invaluable in this
endeavor. Our Ernest
Deffner Publications division offers more than 10,000 music titles
to accordionists. We are very active in accordion organizations, both
nationally and internationally, and have always worked to improve
the accordion’s status as a prestigious instrument suitable
for all areas of music.”

Romano
Viazzani 将在新的舞台剧 ‘Pennies From Heaven’上担任手风琴部分的表演, 这是一部庆祝 Arthur
Tracy生活与歌曲的音乐剧. 该剧将于2月18日晚上 7.30 在Jermyn Street Theatre, Jermyn St,
London SW1Y 6ST 上演.
被称为 ‘街道歌手(The Street Singer)’ 的Arthur Tracy (1899-1997)
是1930年代和40年代非常受欢迎的歌手和手风琴家. 他的丰富, 传奇的男高音与清晰的语言在无线台与唱片中非常完美, ‘Here Lies
Love’, ‘When I Grow Too Old to Dream’, ‘I'll See You Again’, ‘Red Sails
in the Sunset’, 以及他的主题歌 ‘Marta’ 都是极大的亮点. Tracy 还参与了一些电影的制作. 尽管在舞台表演中
Tracy 使用手风琴, 但是大家认为 Charles Magnante 能够演奏他的唱片中的大部分手风琴背景音乐.
在他于1940年代后期离开表演事业后, 他就几乎被大家遗忘, 直到 1981 年的电影 ‘Pennies From Heaven’
使得他重新称为公众的热点, 而 Tracy的 1937 录制的主题歌曲称为该部电影音乐.
作为
‘An Introduction to the English Folk Tradition’ 活动的一部分, 手风琴家Karen Tweed
将通过示范表演和录制的唱片等实例介绍英国民乐传统. 专题研讨会将于2月24日上午11.15到下午12.30在:Crush Room, Royal
Opera House, Bow Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 9DD 举行.
