I'm one. Bought my first concertina from Boris also. I only had time for a few lessons but enjoyed them tremendously.

I was going to say the same thing.

Allan Atlas is another, though he hasn't been around c.net much recently.

Allan has been busy retiring from the New School, among other things I suppose. I sang Arnold the Armadillo at his retirement concert here in NYC. Perhaps now Allan, you will have time for more recordings of your wonderful Victorian arrangements? We all would love to hear more from you. Please do post some of your music when you get the chance.

http://www.mountainvistasoft.com/concert.htm takes you to a picture of another former Matusewitch student, Moshe Rubin, in Jerusalem. When I corresponded with him very briefly several years ago, he was a member of the ICA, but not this forum.

 

He told me at that time (2005) that "I was fortunate to have studied under Boris Matusewitch between the ages of 11 and 13 in New York City, thanks to my musically-inclined father, Dr. George Rubin, an American Board of Ophthalmology certified surgeon. My family emigrated to Israel in 1971. Over the years I've played first/second violin with string quartets and performed for the Jerusalem Folk Music group. Although I am a classical music trained concertinist, I enjoy playing folk music on it, too."
