Accordion Noir radio playlist 2021-07-07: Friends Need Funds

Money. Go figure. Sometimes we promote accordionist fundraisers for various projects, sometimes when Bandcamp waives their fees, sometimes directing you to their album releases. Sometimes we book a hall and invite audiences to come and buy tickets to see them! And sometimes we simply play them on the radio, and through the magic of broadcasting, they also get paid that way. This week we did some of the latter, presenting a solid program of worthwhile Canadian songwriters in the alt and world music accordion idioms. They get paid, and it costs you nothing but your hour! If your Apple or Android podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted you to its availability yet, you can enjoy listening to it as digital audio. Here’s its playlist:

If you’d like to pitch in for family friends who lost everything in this week’s wildfires, please do:
Support Melanie and Erin who lost their home and all their possessions in the Lytton Fire
https://fundrazr.com/SupportMelanieandErin?ref=ab_6IphhHNMUsx6IphhHNMUsx
Support 2 people who give everything to community. They need to replace the contents of their home, including craft supplies and camping gear, and to pay for healing and recovery from trauma.
Thanks so much, take care,
