Accordion Noir radio playlist 2019-02-27: Fool’s Spring and Deep Roots

AccNoir 2019-02-27

Last night’s episode of Accordion Noir radio was full of the usual mix, spanning continents and genres like it was nothing.  That’s just part of our patented formula for success!  If you listen carefully you might hear an extraordinary sound — our host Bruce tickling (or is that torturing?) the ivories a little.  In any case, you can now find the episode up available for online listeners as digital audio, and here’s its playlist!

AccNoir-2019-02-27, Fool’s Spring and Deep Roots

(Fool’s Spring because it’s unseasonably warm here in Vancouver, but still cold out for the thousand people sleeping on the street tonight. And Deep Roots, because it’s not all foolishness.)

(Spot the two songs with no accordion tonight! Contact @AccordionBruce on twitter to claim your Accordion Noir sticker prize!)
