Accordion Noir radio playlist 2020-09-02: Post-op Pre-Record

AccNoir 2020-09-02

Once and future Accordion Babe pin-up calendar girl Skyler Fell of Accordion Apocalypse. In fact, she is this month’s calendar girl in the 2020 calendar!

Yesterday Accordion Noir host “Accordion” Bruce Triggs went in for a minor scheduled surgical procedure, and was out of commission (by which I mean, madly Tweeting) during our usual broadcast hours. He put together this pre-recorded episode to air during his recuperation, and it went out over the airwaves last night! It is also available online — if you haven’t already been notified by your Apple or Android podcast subscription (and further podcast directory listing is on its way!), you can listen to it as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here’s its playlist:
