‘14 Years Ago’ – Guy Kluscevsek meets the novelist E. Annie Proulx - USAby Rob Howard |
 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending January 24th 1997 reported that the American accordionist Guy Kluscevsek had recorded the musical soundtrack for the audio version of E. Annie Proulx’s best selling novel ‘Accordion Crimes’. This unique story is still available, both as a book and in CD format.GUY KLUSCEVSEK SOLVES ACCORDION CRIMES Contributed by Faithe Deffner, President of the American Accordionists' Association ‘Accordion Crimes’, a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist E. Annie Proulx, connects the lives of a series of immigrants who each coax music from the same little green accordion, carrying it from Iowa to Texas, from Maine to Louisiana, as they search for the better life promised by their new land. "The music of the accordion is their last link with the past - a voice for their fantasies, sorrows and exuberance." How fitting that the recorded audio version of ‘Accordion Crimes’ should weave the strains of an accordion, played by Guy Kluscevsek, into the book reading. Kluscevsek is masterful in making his music, echoing the many moods of the story. At the author's readings which took place in conjunction with book signings throughout the US, Proulx invariably insisted on including music by a local accordionist to bring excitement and realism to the event. |
