| The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending May 21st 1999 reported news of a radio interview in Canada featuring Domenic Amatucci, the Toronto accordionist well-known for performing Beatles music. The intrepid Domenic has for years performed on the Toronto subways, and his specialized interest in Beatles music marks him out among accordionists. He has his own website, makes recordings, and is still very active. Accordion Beatles on CBC Radio One – Canada Domenic 'the Accordion Beatles guy' Amatucci appeared live on the Metro Morning show with host Andy Barrie on May 13th. Domenic performed ‘In My Life’ by the Beatles, his own composition ‘Wee Wool Cat’, and ‘Here, There and Everywhere’ (Beatles). He was also interviewed in between his musical performances. Andy Barrie asked questions regarding busking in Toronto's subways, which songs were most popular (‘Imagine’ and the ‘Titanic’ theme) and why some people were annoyed by buskers. They also discussed reasons why the accordion declined in popularity during the 1960s in North America and why it's becoming popular again. The Metro Morning show broadcasts all over the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's (CBC) southern Ontario network to a potential audience of 8 million listeners. |
