Dallas/fortworth Squeezers!

Just trying to see who's out there. I live in Denton, Tx, and play a 20-button Anglo.

 

Hello. Say something.

I guess there aren't so many out there. Too bad.

Still, you are not too far from Chainyanker and Dan Worrall and a few others I bet.

 

Why not head over to Palestine this March. I looks like the Palestine Old Time Music and Dulcimer Festival is less than three hours away from you. There will be a bunch of squeezers there and I bet that someone will let you have a go on something other than a Hohner.

 

I would be nice to meet you.

If you haven't already, you might consider attending the National Accordion Association convention, which is in Denton coming up this March 13-15. I attend this frequently (and probably will this year), and I don't often see other concertina players there. There's a lot that concertina players can learn from accordion players (and many fool around with both). I recently saw Myron Floren on a French themed Lawrence Welk re-run, and it appeared that he was actually playing a nice accompaniment on an Anglo. Bradley Williams (Chemnitzer concertina) is on the bill this year with his Polkasonics.

I am seriously considering it. Sounds like a fun time. Played football at nearby Tyler Junior College in my preconcertina life. And I would love to meet you and others from the community.

 

Cheers.

How is a National Accordian Association convention coming to my home town and I don't know about it??

 

I guess I'm going to have to attend this event and have the time of my life.

 

I wonder if Brave Combo is going to play. They are Denton's pride-and-joy polka grammy winners.

 

Aside from them, I wonder if there will be much tejano, which abounds in this area.

 

This is very exciting.

 

I just played a gig in Austin three weeks ago. Loved it. It loved me. I'm already looking for copy-writing/editing jobs down there.

 

Thanx for the info! Hope to see you there.

Actually, to correct myself, the convention is in Richardson, just north of Dallas, but still very close to Denton. Brave Combo is on the bill this year. The National Accordion Association was formerly the Texas Accordion Association, which had to change its name when a disgruntled member legally hijacked the name.

Sweet. Just down the road.
