Accordion Noir radio playlist 2013-01-23: Happy 8th Plank-Day!

Ten years ago, Rowan’s (now rawther dormant) “jug band of the damned” the Creaking Planks celebrated the 8th anniversary of their first performance with a concert at the WISE Hall.  This episode, number 321, of our weekly hour-long alt-accordion music program … doesn’t particularly dwell on that occasion, but it does lean on it for its title, opening track, and that lovely leading image.  (Golly, we were young, once!)  If you missed out on it ten years ago, here you have another chance to enjoy listening to this episode, now as digital audio, courtesy of the Internet Archive.  Here’s its playlist:
