AccNoir 2020-12-30

It’s the end of a heck of a year, so why not send it on its way in a blistering cavalcade of accordion music? That’s right, there is no convincing counter-argument. Fortunately, here we are to provide the soundtrack for your household’s changeover.  If your Apple or Android podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to its availability yet, you can enjoy listening to it as streaming audio courtesy of the Internet Archive. Here’s its playlist:
