National Accordion Association (NAA) Automatisierte "Open Call" - USA

National Accordion Association (NAA) header
Norman & Sharon SeatonNational Accordion Association (NAA) Präsident Norman Seaton (Bild unten) kündigte die neue automatisierte "Open Call" für Akkordeon Convention Presenters, Concert Artists und Aussteller.

Die nationale Akkordeon-Konvention vom 8. bis 10. März 2018 hat das Thema: "Über die Vergangenheit hinausgehen - die Zukunft starten" und dreht sich alles um "Enjoying the Journey".

Die NAA-Konvention ist die Eröffnungsveranstaltung der nordamerikanischen Akkordeon-Kongress- und Festivalsaison 2018. Die NAA hat absichtlich jedes Jahr den März ausgewählt, damit ihre jährliche Konvention nicht mit den anderen ausgezeichneten Akkordeon-Veranstaltungen konkurriert, die jährlich stattfinden.

Der automatisierte "Open Call" ist ein innovativer Terminierungsprozess für Accordion Convention Presenters, Concert Artists und Aussteller für den Zeitraum vom 1. bis 31. Oktober 2017, der es Konventionen ermöglicht, die Konvention zu gestalten.

Im Gegenzug stellt der automatisierte Prozess alle Informationen in eine Datei ein und ermöglicht es Moderatoren, Künstlern und Anbietern, neue Methoden vorzuschlagen, um die von den Konventionen geforderten Wünsche zu erfüllen, um eine reaktionsschnelle und aufregende Konvention zu schaffen.

Für vollständige Informationen und zur Teilnahme an der automatisierten "Open Call", besuchen Sie die Website: National Accordion Association (NAA).

Bobby Crowe Inducted Into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame, Scotland – UK

Bobby Crowe picturesThe late Bobby Crowe, accordionist and bandleader, has been inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame.

Bobby Crowe was as renowned for his generosity of spirit in passing the Scottish dance band tradition on to younger generations as he was for the distinctive, high quality sound of his internationally regarded band.

He was born in Balmullo in Fife on February 1st 1933 and took up the accordion after a particular instrument caught his eye in a music shop in Dundee. His uncle Hector bought it for him and encouraged by Dougie Maxwell, who played bass with Jimmy Shand, and inspired by accordionists Jack Forsyth and Lindsay Ross, Bobby began working on tunes including ‘Cock o’ the North’ and the ‘High Level Hornpipe’.

In 1950 Bobby and Dougie Maxwell’s son, Dougie Jnr, formed the Olympians, with Dougie Jnr, who had earlier played second accordion with Bobby, playing trumpet. This was to be one of the last examples of a long tradition of having brass in a Scottish dance band and two years later, with David Finlay having joined on piano, the band passed its audition for the BBC at the first attempt, going on to make its first radio broadcast soon afterwards.

Following his National Service, Bobby formed his own band in 1956 and five years later he began a long association with the BBC as a broadcasting bandleader. He also appeared with other bands during this time, including the New Cavendish Band, and enjoyed a particular affinity with fiddlers Ron Kerr and Angus Fitchet. Bobby went on to play lead accordion on Angus Fitchet’s revered ‘Fitchet’s Fancy’ album and they also appeared as a duo on the Accordion & Fiddle club circuit for many years.

The hallmark of Bobby’s own bands was that they were always great to dance to, due to Bobby’s attention to getting the tempo just right and his insistence on choosing tunes that went together naturally in a set. He would spend hours searching through books and old manuscripts to find good tunes. As a result of this, together with their musical quality, his band became very popular in Scottish dance circles in England and as far afield as Oman as well in Scotland.

Bobby went on to record upwards of a dozen albums for the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society, becoming a regular at their summer schools in St Andrews, and he played for the Queen three times at Balmoral before a stroke caused him to retire prematurely from playing in 1994.

After he retired Bobby remained a strong presence on the Scottish dance band scene. In November 1997 he was recognised by both the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society itself and the Leeds and Doncaster Branch for his outstanding contribution to music and right to the end of his life he would travel round the country, listening to the music, talking to fellow enthusiasts and promoting his high quality approach to band-leading by sharing his immense collection of tunes and arrangements.

Bobby died on September 17th 2014 and is remembered as a real character who, following his retirement, would turn up on occasion still carrying his accordion case. On opening it, instead of his beloved instrument, he would reveal a well-stocked cocktail bar that he would declare open as and when he chose.

A Lovely Story: Accidental Friendship That Lasts, Via Reddit - USA

masemjThis lovely story was published yesterday in the New Zealand Herald Sideswipe column by Ana Samways, Via Reddit. It involves accordion, so we have also published it. Enjoy.

When I was 23, a random old guy in his 70s sat next to me on the train one day. I was listening to music at the time but didnt want to come across as rude so I switched off my iPod, struck up some crap conversation about the weather and we started to chat.

He asked about my music taste and if I played any instruments. I play violin, guitar and piano and my granddad plays accordion and his eyes lit up when I mentioned this. Turns out that he composed both classical music and Scottish country dance music, however he was not great at playing the required instruments and had never heard his composition being played, he had only imagined what it would sound like.

We exchanged phone numbers and addresses before we parted ways and he sent me some sheet music of a song that he had composed with violin and accordion parts. My granddad and I got together and practised the music and surprised the man with a visit, instruments in tow.

Guy was bawling like a baby when he heard his music being played and said, apart from his wedding day, it was the best day of his life! He said that when I started chatting to him that day that I restored his faith in the younger generation and he will be forever grateful for my friendship.

That was almost 10 years ago and him and my granddad now get on like a house on fire! I still see him regularly and we exchange cards at Christmas. (Via Reddit)
