Accordion Noir radio playlist 2009-03-27: Mix up and up and up…

AccNoir 2009-03-27

[Note from Bruce: This episode features my favorite Accordion Noir ad lib ever, when Rowan called from space as they sent accordions 🪗  to the #ISS 🛰. (I love that there’s an 🛰 emoji.)

[17:45, Also features race-horses 🏇]

Here’s a ten-year-old episode of Accordion Noir radio, number 121, sprung from the proverbial vaults.  It is our standard all-over-the-map mix with a slight bias toward klezmer, but with good representation of a variety of styles and approaches.  At its old internet home it measured some 10704 listens before the odometer burned out.  We don’t know if it will ever meet or exceed that total at its new online home at the Internet Archive, but we hold out hope.  You can help it mark one more notch in the tally by giving it a listen right now!  Here’s its playlist:

This episode’s cover is that ol’ International Space Station. Your own orbital squeeze-box.

If you go to NASA’s site, there’s this article which is actually about Louisiana “French-music” accordions!
