‘14 年前’ – 1999 ‘美国最热门手风琴家’ 比赛by Rob Howard |
 环球手风琴新闻曾于1999年3月26日报道了 ‘美国最热门手风琴家’ 比赛的消息, 那是一个令人印象深刻的推介手风琴的活动. 冠军是来自路易斯安那的 Zydeco 键钮手风琴家Dwayne Dopsie. 链接将带大家回到那个时代，浏览所有的活动信息. Warm Welcome for Hot Accordionists – USA Contributed by Faithe Deffner, President of the American Accordionists' Association It was "Welk Salutes the Accordion" day in Branson, Missouri on Thursday, March 25th, by proclamation of the Mayor. That's the BIG day when the five finalists of the "Search for the Hottest Accordionist in America" played off. The five finalists, selected from over 150 entries were: Terri Conti (New Jersey), Dwayne Doopsie (Louisiana), Phoebe Legere (New York), Tim Padilla (California) and Jason Stephen (Missouri). The search for the "Hottest" has attracted huge publicity, ranging from the front page of the Entertainment Section of "USA Today" newspaper to the opening monologue of Jay Leno's Tonight TV Show. The NBC-TV Tonight Show covered the final of the red-hot accordionists' competition, along with ABC Good Morning America and CBS Sunday Morning. Among attending media people was a New York Times reporter doing a feature for Sunday's Entertainment Section. CBS TV camera and news crew were at the airport to greet arriving contestants and film for their Sunday Morning Show. Accordions Worldwide has its North American representative Kevin Friedrich on the spot and a full report of this exciting event is on line. What a fantastic promotion for the accordion. Great work by the AAA, their President Faithe Deffner and the Welk Organisation. Such positive promotion of the accordion deserves all our support. – Wayne Knights, Editor |
