  To all my accordion colleagues: With great sadness I wish to announce the passing (20 July 2012) of an accordion giant, and my very good friend, Ralph Stricker. Ralph is the author of the landmark book "Jazz Theories and Improvisation for the Accordion". He was also a noted professional Blackjack player in his earlier years and he wrote books on that subject as well. Ralph was a kind man who readily offered his musical knowledge to anyone who requested it. I will miss his friendly calls and kind words. We offer our condolences and prayers to his loving, caring daughter Kathy in her hour of loss. Ron Ostromecki |
