And that’s Hallowe’en for another year! But of course we’re here on the air every week — and if you keep up with us on social media, you can hang with us daily on Twitter, announcing breaking accordion trends at @AccordionNoir and @AccordionBruce, depicting them at our Instagram account @Accordionnoirfest, and of course we’ve always got business cooking over at our Facebook groups for Accordion Noir fans, the Accordion Noir Festival, and the Vancouver Squeezebox Circle. (Did somebody say Vancouver Squeezebox Circle? That meets one week from tonight, 8-10 pm at Spartacus Books!)

(We know you haven’t sent in your cover recording of our theme song yet to celebrate our radio program’s 10th anniversary in December, but we’re hoping that you do eventually get around to it in time for the festivities!)
