Accordion Noir radio playlist 2011-04-20 (late show): Banjo Noir part 1

AccNoir 2011-04-20

Things were really cookin’ back on April 20th, 2011, and not for the obvious reasons.  We hosted three hours of radio that day, the first with two distinguished musical guests and the last two with a pair of entirely unrelated experts sitting in with us during one of our “alt-instrument” member drive specials (which you may recall from my setup to our recent Omnichord special), this one dedicated to the accordion’s frequent punchline colleague, the banjo.  Linda Bull and Sue Malcolm joined us and much merry music was aired!  We count this session as episode 228 of Accordion Noir despite a) having episode 227 immediately before it and b) it not containing any accordion, just banjo.  At its original online home, it logged some 5461 listens, and you can continue enjoying it today as digital audio courtesy of the Internet Archive.  (We’ll post its second incredible hour soon!)  Here’s its playlist:
