| The Accordions Worldwide news for September 11th 1998 included a report about Canadian accordionist Ron Jensen whose name made headlines in Ontario due to complaints about his music being too loud, resulting in legal action against him. We hope his situation was amicably resolved for all concerned. Accordionist charged with playing too loud!, Ontario - Canada Contributed by Domenic "the Accordion Beatles guy" Amatucci The Toronto Star included an item recently about an Oakville (Ontario) accordion player, who was charged for playing his polkas too loud and has one more chance to turn down the music! The trial of Ron Jensen was adjourned until June (1999) after a tentative agreement was reached where Jensen is to reduce the level of his accordion speakers, and Constable Shane Crawford will monitor the sound levels. If Jensen doesn't comply, he will be back in court to face the existing charge and a maximum fine of $5,000. Jensen has been playing at weekends along the shores of Bronte Harbour for 17 years. Despite community support, Jensen said he may never come back to Bronte Village. "I don't feel they're trying to make an effort to help me out," he said. |
