One of the things taught to me by every mentor I've been fortunate to have is to make sure to give proper recognition to the composer, arranger, or influence or all of the above. Recently I performed my arrangement of Mill Lane by Ron Harbron. When introducing the tune I attributed Ron with the tune and how I came about arranging and playing it. Another example is my version of Scott Joplin's The Entertainer. My arrangement is based on two other arrangements: one by Boris Matueswitch and the other by Itzhak Perlman. Both received attribution in an online concert I did a few years ago. I think it's important to mention the person(s) who influenced the music you're playing especially if you're borrowing their ideas and music. Just saying...

My jazz manouche group, DC Ambiance, is performing live for the show THE WORLD OF NOTA & ZITA This is the story of two immigrant sisters who became an international sensation only to die in obscure poverty. The music is arranged and performed by DC Ambiance. The performance is on Saturday April 13th . Pre Show music starts at 8:00 PM with the performance starting at 8:30. . The performance is free but seating is limited on a first come first serve basis. DC ArtOmatic is a festival free to the public with 800 visual artists and over 200 performers celebrating the Festival's 25th Anniversary. It is truly a swell time!

Sometime ago I decided I wanted to build a personal/professional website. Thank you Jim Besser and Judy Minot for your help and suggestions. https://randysteinec.com

Thanks

I was contacted by a parent of a 10 year old who attends a local contra dance and is interested in learning to play the Concertina. She currently is learning to play violin in school. We had a couple of great discussions via zoom . The 10 year old is very funny and serious about learning. I sent info about Anglo, English, and Duet systems as well as YouTube views of some of the great players in the UK. She wants to play the EC. Are there any ECs for a child to start learning?

Who knew 38 years after my career in the circus I would get the chance to perform again. Minus the handstands and flips.
