| Despite the fact the Stockport Accordion Club meeting venue, Woodley Methodist Church is still closed due to Covid19, club members have been holding Zoom internet meetings on Wednesday evenings each week. This gives members the opportunity to keep in touch, swap news, have plenty of laughs, play solos, and even have a short band practice. Thank goodness for technology! Last week’s pieces were the Amboss Polka, Metsakukkia (a waltz from Finland), and Besame Mucho. Players are looking forward to when restrictions are lifted and they can all meet again in person! |

_Le vieil accordéon - Un hommage à Ilmar Kuljus pour son 90ième anniversaire - USAby Susan Graham |
 Vidéo: “Northwest Profiles: Accordion Icon” est utilisé avec la permission de KSPS PBS, Spokane, Washington USA. Publié le 31 mars 2016.Fondateur: Mon cher ami Grauman a écrit: "J’ai reçu un email de Susan Graham, femme de Limar Kuljus. Je ne sais pas si vous connaissez Limar. Ce fut le professeur de Patricia Bartell, ainsi que des champions du AAA champions Sam Thomas (2007) et Gabe Hall-Rodrigues (2010). En attaché, c’est une très belle histoire qui je pense vaudrait la peine d’être publiée." J’ai lu cette magnifique histoire et à un moment où le monde a grandement souffert de cette horrible destruction de la vie et de l’économie par le corona virus, de tels écrits nous parlent de créateurs et gens merveilleux et humains amants de la musique et la transmission. A ne pas rater: This Old Accordion de Susan Graham ------------------------------------------------------- Susan Graham écrit: Le 6 juin est le 76ième anniversaire de D-Day (6th juin 1944) et les 90 ans de Limar. Quand je lui dis qu’il doit tout écrire, il répond que personne ne serait interessé, que son histoire est celle de tous les immigrants. Je l’en conjure. L’écrit en attaché est une tentative de garder une trace des éléments principaux, tels qu’il me les as relatés. This Old Accordion by Susan Graham |
