 Thirty-two people (including 16 current and past students with a cumulative total of over 100 years of lessons) gathered in August, 2017 to celebrate the 89th birthday of Northern California accordion performer and teacher, Lou Jacklich.Highlights included: - live accordion music during the pot-luck supper; - a portrait cake with photo of Lou Jacklich during his days on tour as a pioneer with the electronic accordion using the Lovell organ attachment; - an interactive game to engage the audience and guest of honor in revealing his musical career and accomplishments captured on official proclamations printed on a framed eloquent Certificate of Recognition issued by California Senator Bob Wieckowski, which was presented at the game’s conclusion; - accordion and singing performances by students (with a demonstration of the Titano bass converter accordion with Bach melody); - solo and duet performances by the maestro and hostess; - and party favors of wrapped Hershey chocolate bars decorated to look like the master treble switch. Due to a lack of time, Lou Jacklich’s lecture and demonstration on jazz technique, and group band participation has been postponed for a future event (Birthday Celebration – Part 2!). A good time was had by all. eTracks album "Lou Jacklich Plays" with 12 well known tracks is available for only US$8 at Catalog: jacklicheT |
