Hello and welcome to This Accordion Life. This is your host Julie the Bruce, accordion fan and novice player. I am happy to announce that today is the the day that I have written my first song on the keys of a squeezebox, and a rather pleasing tune it is. It reminds me of my days as a child when I used to ride the carousel and throw brass rings in a cruel clown's mouth. Yes, those were the days.
I have been playing accordion only since around May. I play a delightful Sonola Rivoli and I am awaiting another great Sonola with 80 bass and musette in a few weeks. It has been very fun learning accordion and I recommend it to anyone.
I have posted a home made video on youtube of the first accordion song I've been able to get through without messing up. Naturally I have practiced it the least! I took the footage from a trip around my neighborhood in Sacramento on my bike this summer.

This is about the squeezebox; this is about tickling the ivories, caressing the black keys, pumping the bellows, and the dirty dirty people who do it! From a girl who has been described in performance as "hilarious" and "with soul", or "Like channeling Dio".
