Some nice folks, one of whom I met also named Julie, are putting together some kind of radio documentary about accordions in the mid-cali area, I believe. Look for it! There is some great stuff happening around here in the accordion world!
This will lead you to some of their stuff.

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".

Accordion Apocalypse Shop selling some of our consigned accordions
Our most favorite accordion store has a number of accordions me and my husband personally selected on consignment right now.
They are not yet up on their website, but there are several models available, including an old student hohner model, a Rivelli in very nice condition, a Florintino with orange sparkly keys and light blue bellows....and more!
So, if you are in the market for an accordion, there are some nice inexpensive used ones there I personally approve of.
Also, don't forget the 3rd Saturday of the month is usually a workshop with Duckmandu, from 4-7 pm. He has really great technique and a wide range of styles in playing. This month he is teaching us how to play "Police Story" by Black Flag.
Check it out at http://www.accordionapocalypse.com/ They are based in South SF and also do repairs on accordions!
