Accordion Noir radio playlist 2020-03-25: Take It Away

AccNoir 2020-03-25

Finally an apt case for that old accordion joke: What’s your most requested accordion song? “Could you please play ‘Far, Far Away’?”

As threatened in last week’s episode, Bruce is taking no chances with social isolation, so he pre-recorded this week’s episode of Accordion Noir radio at home. Consequently, it is available for online listeners a little earlier than usual! (Of course, if our listeners are so very hard up, we do have literally hundreds of hours of back recordings up at the Internet Archive.) If your Apple or Android podcast subscriptions haven’t already tipped you off, you can enjoy listening to this week’s episode of our radio program, including a nod to Bruce’s new quarantined passtime of recording himself reading passages from his Accordion Revolution history book — now available as an ebook at fire sale prices! Anyhow, here’s its playlist.
