The talented musician, who is known for the Hormel pepperoni commercials and his passion for the accordion, can play thousands of songs and has an encyclopedic knowledge about many styles of folk music. He began to learn how to play the accordion at age four; he now owns 14 accordions and travels extensively with his band. Meixner says he loves how the accordion always gets a crowd reaction. “The instrument is fascinating,” Meixner said. “One of the things I enjoy is going to elementary schools particularly. Kids see me – pressing buttons, moving bellows, sounds coming out, sound changes – and it’s very tangible. The qualities of it are so attractive, especially for kids.” Read the full article with pictures and 4 quality videos at: JWPepperMeixner.aspx |
